This Gallery is
all about the best Known Montana Parks including Glacier
National Park is 1,000,000 acres - the most northern
US part of the North American Rocky
Mountains that stretch from Canada to Mexico.
On the west side of the Rockies
is the headwaters of the Colorado River; on
the east side is the headwaters
of the Mississippi River. This distinction is referred
to as the "Continental Divide".
Even desert plants can live
here as they survive with little nutrition and sporatic
moisture.
Yellowstone National Park - the first in the nation
- is located in Wyoming, Montana and Idaho.
The Original Entrance is in Gardiner Montana...along
the Yellowstone
River in the
Gallatin Valley.
Ride past Emigrant Peak and
then to the park where you appreciate the resurgence
of contented Buffalo families.
Little Bighorn Battlefield National
Monument honors the site of the 1876 battle between
US Army's 7th Cavalry and bands of Lakota Sioux, Cheyenne,
and Arapaho Indians.
The First and Best known State Park of Montana
is the Lewis and
Clark Caverns SP. It includes a well maintained
limestone cave south of Helena and a number of hiking
trails. Although it overlooks many miles of
the Lewis & Clark trail, Lewis and Clark never saw
the caverns.
