Badlands in Montana

Pelicans on the Missouri River

Further downstream beyond the horizon, experience the solitude of the Badlands. Here beaver thrive, pelicans trace the valley rims, and bighorn sheep may wander into camp. Hikes will provide additional opportunity for wildlife viewing, bird-watching, the discovery of flora unique to the area and incredible photography potential.
