Vida is located along the Big Sky Back Country Byway, which links the two major rivers in the state, the Yellowstone and the Missouri in eastern Montana. This route follows a section of the historic Regina-Yellowstone (R-Y) Trail, which tourists from Canada used to reach Yellowstone National Park. The north-south orientation of the trail will give you a glimpse of dry land farming, rolling prairie grassland, scenic scoria buttes, and badlands terrain. The entire route is well marked with directional signs and is approximately 105 miles long.
