In Southeast Montana, you can experience the untamed Yellowstone River Valley, as the river flows unchecked toward its rendezvous with the Missouri River. You can kayak in the gentle waves of Bighorn Canyon. You can watch the sunset paint the badlands with red and gold from your vantage point along the scenic drive to Makoshika State Park. Visit Montana's mountains, see Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks, but don't forget that you will never get the full picture of Montana's natural wonders unless you experience the badlands, canyons, rivers and prairies of Southeast Montana.
