LEWIS AND CLARK WERE HERE. BUT YOU’D NEVER KNOW.
When you make it to Montana’s High Plains, you will know. Prairies, badlands and buttes will stretch out in all directions. The historic waters of the Missouri River Breaks National Monument will speak to your paddling interest. The C.M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge will offer its varied and immense collection of wildlife. The Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area and Pryor Mountains will present unrivaled camping, floating and fishing. It’s here you’ll also find the Bighorn Battlefield. And if you’re wondering about the human contact and creature comforts, we happily recommend the Mexican food (served out of a trailer) at Ma’s Cafe in Loma or the grilled lamb rack with an organic lavender honey drizzle down the road at the historic Grand Union Hotel in Fort Benton. Montana’s High Plains has all the amenities of the more populated parts of our state – it just won’t be as well… populated.
