A wonderful memorial, very well done and well maintained for all. The site is very nice inside,…read morevery historical in many respects. The whole of the buildings are very clean and inviting to guests. The restrooms are among the cleanest I have seen at a memorial or monument. Kudo to the Park Service for their hard work and diligence in keeping this as a national treasure. More than just a Memorial to the soldiers that were killed in battle against the plains indigenous natives, it stands as a monument of US westward expansion and the toll it took on both sides. Both sides being the encroaching United States and the other side being the people that already lived on the north American plains and had already claimed that land. The memorial was originally built and dedicated to the soldiers and Lt. Colonel George A. Custer for their deaths during the battle of the Little Big Horn. It has been called a slaughter of U.S. Cavalry soldiers by many, through their interpretation of the history of the battle, but on the other side of the battle, many, many more indigenous native soldiers (braves), wives, mothers and children lost their lives as well as their land and way of life, and for many years were given no mention. Now as we study history, and time goes on, we see the history and telling of this battle change to a more realistic understanding of the events of this battle. The indigenous peoples of that area were not monsters nor godless nor savages bent on mindless killing and bloodlust, they were native, indigenous people, attempting to protect their land and way of life. Many thanks to the many people and the Crow Agency for their work to get these changes made in the telling of history.

As with most of the national park system, this is so well done. We listened to a talk by an…read moreenthusiastic knowledgeable ranger, followed by visitor center and a road through the battlefields. The gravestones are scattered throughout the prairie. Road is a little narrow to pull a trailer, but we did it and passed other polite folks pulling rigs as well.

Revered by local native tribes, these magical natural rock formations are worth exploring. Sadly,…read more members of the current Yahoo Tribe have defaced many of the rocks by carving their names and profane words into several of the rocks. Don't let that discourage you from visiting.

A neat spot along the way south of Wibaux as I was making my way towards Devils Tower. Low rolling…read morehills and not much else going on with barely another human being passing the other way for a long while, and then suddenly these massive rocks are popping up out of the landscape. I had to stop and investigate. "As fantastically beautiful a place as I have ever seen," said one of its first tourists in the late 1800s, a young rancher named Teddy Roosevelt. And there's a guy who knows beautiful places. The park is self-service with envelopes at the entrance where you're expected to fill out your details and put the entrance fee into a lockbox. As much as I was tempted to explore, I knew that I had a busy day of driving ahead. As well, I was alone and there's no cell service out here so if something happened, it might be a while for help to come through. So I took some pictures at the entrance and then a few more from the road and moved on. There's a very helpful spring at the entrance. The water tasted crystal clear.
