Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument, Federal memorial and museum in Big Horn County, Montana.
The monument spans across rolling hills with marble markers indicating where soldiers and Native American warriors fell during the 1876 battle.
The Battle of Little Bighorn resulted in 263 casualties for the 7th Cavalry, including Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer and his entire command.
The Indian Memorial features native sculptures and inscriptions honoring the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho warriors who defended their territories and traditions.
Visitors access the battlefield through a 4.5-mile tour road connecting the Reno-Benteen Defense Site with the Custer National Cemetery and museum complex.
White marble markers differentiate between the positions where U.S. Army soldiers fell and red granite markers indicate where Native American warriors died.

Montana offers a range of landscapes from the peaks of Glacier National Park to the central plains. The state has several mountain routes including the Going-to-the-Sun Road and the Beartooth Highway, both exceeding 3,000 meters in elevation. Glacial lakes such as Flathead Lake and Lake McDonald stretch over miles, with geological formations revealing millions of years of natural history. The Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman holds significant dinosaur fossil collections. Montana's mining history is evident in the streets of Virginia City, a former territorial capital founded in 1863, where over 200 buildings from the 19th century are preserved. The Little Bighorn Battlefield commemorates the 1876 conflicts between the U.S. Army and Native American nations. To observe local wildlife, the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center houses bears and wolves in protected habitats. Hikers can take the 18-kilometer Highline Trail along the continental divide or walk to the Grinnell Glacier through alpine lakes in Glacier National Park.
