2023 WESTERN TRIP

Montana Visit & Drive to Wyoming

Little Bighorn Battlefield · Bighorn Scenic Byway · Cody / Wapiti

My plan for this leg of the trip was to spend a couple of nights at Tongue River State Park in Montana and take a day trip to Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument. The weather was not appealing for a motorcycle ride to the battlefield, so I disconnected the trailer and drove the RV for the monument tour. Custer's “Last Stand” had intrigued me since reading about it in school.

From Montana I drove back into Wyoming and crossed the Bighorn Scenic Byway on US-14, then continued through Cody to Wapiti Campground in Shoshone National Forest.

HISTORIC SITE

Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument

The Battle of the Little Bighorn, commonly referred to as Custer's Last Stand, was fought June 25–26, 1876. The battlefield and Custer National Cemetery were especially interesting and informative stops during this trip.
