U.S. Route 12
East–west United States highway, running from Aberdeen, Washington, to Detroit, Michigan, for almost 2500 mi. The highway has mostly been superseded by Interstate 90 (I-90) and I-94, but unlike most U.S. routes that have been superseded by an Interstate, US 12 remains as an important link for local and regional destinations.
It then overlaps I-90 for 69 mi, until Garrison, where it heads east toward Helena for 48.8 mi. This two-lane section of the trip passes through Avon and Elliston winding through the Helena National Forest, over the Continental Divide at MacDonald Pass, and then through Montana's capital city, Helena.
