Where to Go
Billings and the Big Open
Beyond
Billings,
the state's largest and most industrial city, much of eastern Montana is
made up of small but tightly knit communities separated by vast swaths of
wide open coun-
try.
It's also where four of the state's seven
Indian reservations
can be found. The land-
scapes are varied and dramatic—from the rimrocks in Billings and the rolling hills around
the
Little Bighorn Battlefield
to the badlands of
Makoshika State Park
outside Glendive.
Great Falls and the Rocky Mountain Front
The
vast plains
erupt into
soaring peaks
along the
Rocky Mountain Front.
The
Bob
Marshall Wilderness Complex
is one of the most spectacular and isolated mountainous
areas in the Lower 48. Tiny towns like
Choteau
and
Fort Benton
offer a charming sense
of community, along with fascinating sites like dinosaur mecca
Egg Mountain
and lovely
historic hotels.
Straddling the division between mountains and plains,
Great Falls
boasts
two of the state's best museums:
The C.M. Russell Museum
and the
Lewis and Clark
National Historic Trail Interpretive Center.
