History Left A Definite Mark At This One Fascinating Spot In Montana
Many (many) years ago, a group of prehistoric hunters roamed Montana. They left their mark in the form of pictographs, ancient rock paintings, which miraculously are still visible today. They’re preserved at Pictograph Cave State Park, a place every Montanan should see.
