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.

During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.
Pictograph Cave State Park is located in Billings.
