Parks

One of the most popular parks in Montana is the Glacier National Park. Located near the Canadian border, this park is home to two major mountains and over a thousand different species of flora. This park is known as the crown of the continent. This is protected land made up of more than sixteen thousand miles of land. One of the most popular national parks in Montana is Yellowstone National Park. Three of the five park's entrances are located here. Being the first national park in the world, this park is mostly located in Wyoming, but is often times entered through Montana due to the proximity of attractions to the Montana entrances. This is the home of Old Faithful Geyser. Yellowstone Caldera is also located close to the Montana entrances. The Caldera is considered to still be an active volcano.

Montana is home to over thirty six million acres of land federally protected as state parks and wildlife refugees. One of the best preserved sites and most often visited is the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail. The trail runs right through the entire state of Montana. The trail has been preserved and is still in tact according to the federal preservation act. The Little Bighorn Battlefield is another great park to visit. It is preserved as a memorial site of those that fought in the battle but is also a preserved of history. There are reenactments held here on a regular basis. Upon entering the fields there, you can meet some of the actors and some of the local Indians that still live in the area will tell you how the battle was won and some will even give you history of their people and tell you tales of their people.
