Our Lady of the Rockies, White statue on Continental Divide near Butte, Montana.

Our Lady of the Rockies is a 90-foot (27 m) white statue of Mary, its robe and head veil marked by deep folds, standing on a jagged gray rock outcrop at Saddle Rock on Butte's East Ridge. The figure rests on a solid base atop the Continental Divide, with loose gray rock and scattered green and bare trees on the slope below.

Bob O'Bill, a Butte resident, promised in 1979 to build a statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe if his wife recovered from cancer; she did. Work began on December 29, 1979. The 400-ton concrete base was poured in September 1985, and on December 17, 1985 a National Guard CH-54 helicopter airlifted the statue in four sections to Saddle Rock.

The monument honors Mary and is revered by local residents as a protective symbol. It reflects the region's deep religious tradition and draws people seeking contemplation in this remote mountain location.

Visitors can reach the monument by guided bus tour from the visitor center, offered during warmer months. The climb to the summit is steep, so wear good shoes and allow time to adjust to the altitude.

The 90-foot statue was flown up in four sections by a CH-54 Tarhe helicopter of the Army National Guard's 137th Aviation Company on December 17, 1985, and the head was set in place three days later. The land at Saddle Rock was donated by Guy Ossello.
