When you look up to the eastern heights above Butte, you'll see the large white statue of "Our Lady of the Rockies" in a notch at the top of a hill. The 90-foot statue was built "in the likeness of Mary, Mother of Jesus," and is dedicated to all women, especially mothers. Private cars are not allowed up to the site, but you can get a close-up view of the statue on 2 1/2-hour bus tours. If you don't have time for a tour but are interested in learning more about "Our Lady of the Rockies," visit the information center and gift shop for a look at a panoramic mural of the statue. There is also a 30-minute video detailing the construction: 400 tons of concrete were used just for the statue's base.
Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
