In October 2022, I booked a trip with Austin Adventures scheduled for July 2023. Austin Adventures…read morerecommended that I purchase travel insurance for the trip and provided a link to their travel insurance partner. I purchased the travel insurance. I also made airplane reservations and a hotel reservation for the night before the tour. In April, I was informed that Austin Adventures was cancelling the trip and refund my payment for the trip. However, Austin Adventures refused to refund my travel insurance premium. In addition, I lost money on the airplane tickets. My total losses were over$1000. I spoke to Austin Adventures. I explained I understood that trips are cancelled from time to time. But, that should be financially neutral to me. I lost over $1000 trying to book a trip with them and following their recommendations. I asked if they were OK with that. They told me they have been in business for over 40 years and were highly rated. In conclusion, be very careful dealing with this company. They may cancel your trip and you could lose money you have invested in it. I have since seen other reviews that have reported similar problems. Beware!

About 4.5 years ago, my wife and I were interested in a family Yellowstone vacation as our two sons…read morewere finally old enough for the trip. We had never been to Yellowstone, and I thought I would be able to call a few weeks ahead to book hotel rooms and a rental car, I was terribly mistaken in my naïveté. Luckily, we stumbled across Austin Adventures in a travel magazine and gave them a call to see if we could book one of their family tours. They had one opening left on the first tour of the season and we jumped on it. I will wholeheartedly say that this was one of the best family vacations we have ever experienced. The tour guides were unbelievably knowledgeable about the park, environment, wildlife, etc. They provided an amazing experience throughout the park, at the attractions, on the hiking trail, in the hotels; everything was taken care of. Immediately after our vacation, we booked a tour for my wife's parents and our children. Again, they delivered an amazing customer experience. After that trip, we booked a private tour for our employees. This was the last tour of the season, which could have meant AA might have been experiencing some fatigue from a long season. But, it was anything but that, we had a wonderful tour. Our employees still speak about it to this day. We had another tour this season, everybody thoroughly enjoyed themselves. AA has only improved on their impeccable customer service.

I just want to start by saying I am not a local guide (who never seem to have a negative comment)…read more We saw nothing of interest here. Yes the trails were well maintained. They were also pretty steep. There were some artifacts on display at the visitor center. But the actual pictographs are incredibly faded and even with binoculars they were not worth the drive. We weren't trying to get there at opening but we found out there is a gate on the road that doesn't open until 9:00 and the visitors center doesn't open until 10. Make the drive if you want a quiet location where you can hear the cows mooing in the distance. Otherwise, invest your time somewhere else.

Horrible place to visit. I thought there may be a trail- it's not a long trail, just a few steps to…read morea blur of what once was- they've had vandalism and people trying to erase history of what once inhabited Montana originally and what was pushed away onto a reservation. It's very touristy and has a info area where you can see more of the artifacts found from the indigenous people who inhabited indigenous Montana. The young girl who was sitting up front, did not greet nor smile- I said hello and she ignored me, so even louder I asked how are you doing, arms crossed and still not smiling, said good- and it ended there. Rude and your an anglo Saxon selling native American postcards and art and displaying their artifacts- with an angry and hateful demeanor, I find that interesting..??

A relatively short drive out of Billings, this State Park is on the Crow Indian reservation. It's…read morea beautiful spot, part of the land deeded to Chief Plenty Coups through the Dawes Act. Plenty Coups' story is equally fascinating: honored as the last of the traditional chiefs of his tribe, his story is entwined with this park, part of his original land allotment and place upon which he built his home (modeled on Mt. Vernon according to the details). As one of the first to understand the loss of the way of life of the Native American tribes, he settled in this location after seeing it in a vision. The cabin is larger than a standard log home of the era, and has an upstairs, as well. Also included on the property is separate building used as a community store, according to the descriptions. The park itself also has a teepee set up next to the home, and a museum and visitor center that does a great job describing the park and the residents of the surrounding area. It's a nice historical park with a short (less than a mile) trail around the property and along the creek, and also offers a picnic area. There's an audio tour available, but the markers along the path and around the home provide a nice self-guided tour if that's your preference.

We liked the visitor's center as much as the homestead itself. The exhibits are fascinating, very…read moreinformative, and well designed. The staff is very, sensitive to and respectful of the Native American materials in their care. The homestead building is very well maintained. It is a mix of periods, with the primary focus on Chief Plenty Coups, though also items and wallpaper from later eras. This is a lovely, quiet place, so come here to learn--and avoid the crowds.
