    My friend Laura and I had the best time here today. She's lived here for like 15 years and had…read morenever been nor had I. Our tour guide was Christopher and he was just the BEST. He had an amazing knowledge of the caves and their history. We also enjoyed the gift shop and the restaurant after. We were starving from our cave exploration so the Bison burger hit just right!! Yum! We both expressed that we think our kids would also love the caves!! This is a gorgeous hour drive from Bozeman that I also thoroughly enjoyed.

    I had no idea what to expect when I was on a road trip and my travel partner had booked us a tour…read moreof the Lewis and Clark Caverns. I knew I was in for a hike, but that's about all I knew. I was absolutely blown away with this magnificent experience! We hiked about a mile up to the cavern entrance. It was a steady incline and almost all in the sun, so come prepared for that. Sunscreen and a water bottle would be wise. By the time you get to the top, you're pretty toasty warm-and then you can cool off in the cold, dark cave. The cave/cavern (what's the difference?) is truly remarkable. Nature can be awe inspiring and what you see inside this mountain is a perfect example of nature's masterpiece. Be respectful and don't touch anything you're not supposed to touch. This isn't a horribly physical excursion, although there's a good amount of stairs, narrow spaces and even one area where you slide down on your bum. People who have any mobility limitations might struggle with this one-although I did overhear that there's an alternate tour for folks who might need accommodations, so ask about that. This was likely my favorite part of the road trip-even more memorable than Yellowstone! (Sssshhhh, don't get me in trouble for saying that.)

    Absolutely worth the stop. This ranch was acquired by the NPS with all the original documents,…read morefurnishings, out buildings and conveyances. This is a working ranch. In summer staff grow, cut and store hay in the way thenoriginal ranchers did. A chuck wagon is set up by the barns where staff cook over an open fire and tell stories of cattle ranching. And yes, they do still have cattle on the ranch. Besides a tour of the home and many barns, bunkhouse and sheds, there are multiple trails to enjoy. This area gets quite hot in the summer so be sure to have water and sun protection. In winter it's windy and cold, so dress warm. A good amount of both car and RV parking is available. Public restrooms near the visitor center and the house. If in the area, this is definitely worth a visit for an hour or a day. Picnic tables are availble for guests use.

    I wasn't really sure what was the historical significance of this to warrant NPS status, until I…read moredid the tour of the historic ranch house and read some of the displays. Essentially, when people think of the Wild West and the cowboys, it was only a small period of time due to mild weather. As the United States expanded westward and the Native Americans and bison were being pushed out or killed, there were large tracts of unsettled grassland. Anyone could set up shop or a house or trading post without much fuss. The cattle industry expanded and so large herds of cattle lived on the open range mostly unattended until the spring round up to brand calves and separate out mature animals to sell. Hence, the cowboys were used for this hard work. The industry collapsed as overgrazing led to to insufficient winter forage, especially during the harsh winter of 1886-1887, when hundreds of thousands of cattle died. Bison were able to get through the snow for forage, but cattle could not. Also, the invention of barbed wire led to the parceling and ownership of private land, cutting down on the open range available for cattle to graze on. This park preserves one of the ranches of the time when cattle were grazing on the open range. There's cattle, horses, chickens, and barn cats to see, as well as many historic farm equipment. It was very fun to explore and clarified a time in US history I didn't give much thought to before.
