SOUTHEAST MONTANA

TRAIL WONDERS OF THE OPEN ROAD

STARTING POINT: BILLINGS

The past springs to life in Southeast Montana, where memorials and museums reveal lesser-known accounts of historical events.  We've even mapped it all out, so you can put the phone away and be distracted by the epic views and hidden gems! 

DAY 1

BILLINGS

Get beautiful drone's-eye views of Billings from Swords Rimrock Park, then let your eyes feast on beasts in super-natural habitats at ZooMontana. An hour southeast of Billings, Indian Battle Tours offers a Crow perspective on the Battle of the Little Bighorn.

DAY 2

MILES CITY & GLENDIVE

Two hours northeast of Billings, WaterWorks Art Museum in Miles City is a work of art itself, housed in concrete basins from the town's 1910 Water Works. Father up I-94, Makoshika State Park in Glendive hosts summer Saturday dino experiences

DAY 3

HARDIN

An immersive history lesson awaits in Hardin, where guests at the Big Horn County Historical Museum can experience life in a 1900s settlement. After exploring the Big Horn County Historical Museum travel down to Custer Battlefield Trading Post and Cafe for Indian tacos, Indian fry bread, adn buffalo burgers (yes, made with REAL buffalo meat).
