Makoshika State Park - Glendive, MT


 Getting here was a pretty short trip, so we made a few stops on the way.  Our first stop was Pompey’s Pillar, a national monument.  It is a place where William Clark, of Lewis & Clark,  carved his name on July 25, 1806.  A must stop for L&C fans.  Lewis’s first name, by the way, was Meriwether.  We thought of starting a Lewis & Clark school and call it “William and Meri.”  

For lunch we stopped in Miles City, at the Black Grill.  It was our first indoor dining experience since the pandemic.  We were so proud of ourselves, we didn’t even giggle!  


Makoshika State Park is the largest state park in Montana, but has only 12 campsites, no electricity, limited water, and no dump facility.  It’s sort of the bad lands of Montana with strange rock formations and fossils.  Even though it’s Memorial Day, it’s very peaceful.  We spent the day hiking and saw nobody.
