After A Trip To The Ninepipes Museum In Montana, Get Outside And Explore A National Bison Range Trail

Do you have that traveling bug going around? Sometimes a day trip somewhere new can help you scratch that itch. Embark on an adventure from Ninepipes Museum to the natural beauty found on the National Bison Range trails. If you have spare time, why not make a day of it?

Starting off the day with something historic, you'll want to head to a little town named Charlo for the Ninepipes Museum of Early Montana.

Starting at the beginning with natural wildlife and plants, and extending through Native American culture, fashion, and society. The collections displayed here cover hundreds of Western Plains Indian, cowboy, settler, and fur trade items.

Plucked right out of history, these artifacts are used as educational materials to make sure history is never forgotten in the rush of everything new. Thankfully, with tourism and local supporters, they have been able to support local artists while doing just that.

Established in 1908, the range imported descendants of local bison that survived and were bred to keep the population alive. Keeping them from extinction was a difficult yet worthy cause to pursue. Today, it serves as a point of pride for many.

No matter what direction you came from, the scenery surrounding Charlo is always stunning. Beyond the Ninepipes nature trail, the beautiful National Bison Range is another great spot to explore.

The official trails out here are recommended to pad your day trip with, providing you with extra adventures. Besides the very important bison presence in the hills, you'll find that the ground itself feels more solid after learning about its rich history.

Time after time, this beautiful state shows everyone its good side. In every direction you turn, there is always something unique, beautiful, or both. There's even one Montana county with 15 waterfalls to visit! Every new feature is a pleasant and stunning surprise, it seems.
