    Tried to find a campsite and was yelled at by the park ranger Mindy. She was abrupt and very rude.

    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.

    You must reserve the cave tours online before going. I had problems booking the tour, because my…read moreprimary browser would not display the CAPTCHA (are you a robot) link. They do not sell tickets at the site, and most tours are sold out by the date of the tours. There are two tours, both requiring a mile of walking round-trip to the cave entrance and back. The gravel road is wide and flat, and I do not understand why they don't have a shuttle, since the groups are fairly small. Also, we arrived early, but they refused to let us go on an earlier tour, even though there were several no-shows. So, we had to sit around for an extra hour, for no reason. They have a nice little visitor center with a good video, which our guide basically repeated on the tour. There is also a cafe and ample parking. We took the easier Paradise tour. From the cave entrance, we walked an additional 300 yards round-trip to the first of the two rooms on the tour. They say the other tour has a few additional, small rooms, and requires climbing up and down hundreds of steps, and squeezing through tight, slippery pathways. On our tour, the first room was small, but nice. The second room is the largest on either tour, and was quite beautiful. Even so, it was a lot of driving and walking for a couple of rooms. I've been to several, much more extensive caverns. I wouldn't put this at the top of my to do list in Montana, but the main cavern room is beautiful and the park is very scenic.

    Exercise your imagination. This state park, a historical site, allows it. Demands it, in fact…read more Near cliffs carved by the Madison River, this site was used by early Native Americans who used to drive the buffalo off the cliff. Waiting at the base of the cliff were the women and children ready to skin, clean, and prepare the buffalo meat and begin preparing the hides for clothing and blankets. It's difficult to imagine in today's era. It looks like any other tall hill and cliff until you read about its history. The park has a nice walking path amongst the remains of what has been identified as a Native American village and there are plenty of bones and other artifacts buried beneath the grasses. You aren't allowed to remove what you find, though. The unnerving part of the hike that follows the path of the runners and the buffalo herds is not the history, but the snakes. There are huge signs advising to be on the lookout for rattlesnakes. So much for the imagination needed to see, in your mind's eye, the thundering herds of buffalo when you have to keep one eye grounded in the reality of the here and now. It's a primitive park, not well traveled, but that makes it easier to picture the past. Just be mindful of the snakes. There's a minimal entry fee of a few dollars paid on the honor system.
