Montana hosts natural and historic sites ranging from the limestone gorges of Bighorn Canyon, where red cliffs rise over 300 meters, to the Makoshika badlands dotted with dinosaur fossils. Visitors explore the boiling River near Gardiner, where thermal springs blend with the cold waters of the Gardner River, or cross the Kootenai suspension bridge that spans the river for 64 meters. The state also preserves traces of its past with the Pompeys Pillar, a sandstone formation bearing William Clark's signature from 1806, and the Gates of the Mountains, a canyon named by Meriwether Lewis during the 1805 expedition. From craft distilleries like Glacier Distilling Company in Coram, old railway infrastructures converted into accommodations, to artistic installations such as the Blue Horses in Three Forks, Montana offers a variety of discoveries for travelers exploring its regions.
