There are several buildings throughout Montana that are quite unique. Among them is the so-called Chinese Wall, which is sometimes called the Great Wall of Montana because of its similarity to the Chinese prototype. Surprisingly, few people in Montana have heard of this structure. And those who heard did not see him in person because of the long journey it takes to get there. If you're up for an adventure and have a great pair of hiking boots, you'll definitely want to head up to Montana's China Wall to see it up close for yourself. It's like nothing you've ever seen before. Of course, unless you have visited the real Great Wall of China.”

This structure is not man-made for security purposes. The "Chinese Wall" in Montana is located in the Bob Marshall Wilderness Area. This massive limestone structure averages about 1000 feet (305 m) in height and extends over 10 miles (16 km).

Most people will never see this structure because the path to it is not easy.

The total trail is about 40 miles/64 km (including the wall), so this is an adventure that only serious and very experienced hikers should take.

A massive stone wall marks the continental divide through the Bob Marshall Wilderness Area, which is pretty amazing.

The trail starts about 30 miles (48 km) west of Augusta. It looks very intimidating, but at the same time so great that it is worth trying to find a wall.

The "Chinese Wall" is legendary among outdoor enthusiasts and no one who has ever seen it will ever tell you that the adventure is not worth it.

While the hike to and from the wall will obviously take several days, you will need to plan your campsite carefully.

It must be said that camping is prohibited along the wall in order to preserve the fragile ecosystem.

In addition to the "Chinese Wall" in Montana, there are several other unique attractions worth visiting. One of them Garnet is a ghost town. It was founded in 1895; at different times there were hotels, saloons, a school, shops and more. Garnet even put out a weekly newspaper to keep the townspeople informed about what was going on.
