Havre itself, home to popular former governor Brian Schweitzer, is engaging and also a little rowdy. Numerous poker clubs (everything has “casino” tacked onto it) and cowboy bars line the compact downtown area, underneath which is a defunct underground world of illicit bordellos and opium dens, all part of the whiskey trail that flourished a century ago and again during Prohibition, when copious quantities of bathtub gin from Canada, a stone’s throw north, were run through. Relaxed but informative tours ($15) are available through Havre Beneath the Streets (120 3rd Ave., 406/265-8888).

For great shotgun-seat reading along the way, William Least Heat-Moon’s Blue Highways contains an honest, lyrical account of the highs, lows, and endless in-betweens along this stretch, including a brief account of a day in Shelby.
