Montana suggestion help (ND too)

Thank you!

Bannock and Virginia City are very historical and interesting. Bannock was the first capital of Montana and Virginia City is a state historical site and a preserved western ghost town. The are is famous for the Alder Gulch gold rush. It is a reasonable drive from many towns with RV parks. Also, spending a day or two in Butte is great for the mining history. The Copper kings of the time were amazingly wealthy. Touring the mines is a great adventure. Plus, the entire area is rich with Lewis and Clark history, but that usually only takes a few minutes at each location to read the roadside placards. You could also catch a trophy trout or two in the Beaverhead River around Dillon, should the urge strike.

Closest city is Billings, Google maps,, "crow agency"

Going west leave I-90 at Belle -Fourche, Mt.212 west it will bring you across the Crow Reservation to the monument.

be aware,, the turn around inside of the monument isn't that big.

Custer Battlefield? Is that not much further west?

We’ll look at them, but West Yellowstone is booked.

For Montana - Custer Battlefield, Missouri River Headwaters, Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park, Ennis area and Virginia City, just to name a few. All within the same area. We visited all of these while staying in the West Yellowstone area.
