💡 Tips from Dan

Your Road Warrior Guide

  • Remember, this is a solemn site. Please maintain a quiet, respectful demeanor at all times.
  • Pack some snacks and drinks for the journey, but ensure you take all your trash with you.
  • Great for school-age children learning about US history. Make it an educational trip!
  • Weather in Montana can be unpredictable. Dress in layers and carry an umbrella.
  • Don't forget your camera! The surrounding landscapes are photo-worthy.

Based on what you'll be doing, Dan recommends:

Insulated Water Bottle

Keeps water cold for hours. Hydration is critical in desert heat.

UV reflection off rock and water is intense. Protect your eyes.
