Our State Park on the Eastern edge of Montana, it is the largest of the state parks in Montana. It is about a half a mile drive from town, ( or just down my alley, 1-block ). Kids call them mountains, adults call them Badlands....my grandson & friends practicly lived up there last Summer. They built forts, out of old sheets and rocks and sticks. Caught lizards, turned over rocks and found scorpions, luckily they didn't find any snakes....just what a bunch of 6th graders would do...some days they would pack lunches and we wouldn't see them for hours...(cell phones). Besides the beautiful Badlands, I have 2-brothers and 5 brother & sister-in-laws in this town to make it a Special Place to Live...

Breath taking views-got to check that one out! Sounds like it could be a little dangerous for kids-especially if they aren't locally brought up! Wonderful place to explore!

Brings back memories of the 2.5 years we lived in Glendive (early 80's). This park was a favorite place to go and we always took family when they visited.

Thank you for looking markar, if you stay on I-94 it pretty much has badlands & mountains all across the state. If you travel the north route, you will find a lot of flat farmland towards the East.

What gorgeous country, sleepy. I remember a trip through Montana that left me with the impression that Montana was very flat. I was wrong.

Most of ND is pretty flat and we do get some amazing sunsets and sunrises because you can see forever

If you happen to stop by our little town of 60 people, you can relax and take some time to smell the flowers or play on the swings at the park I built and take care on Main Street

Thanks Roadrunner, they look a little desolete in the winter time..looking at your pictures makes me wish I knew how to ski...I tried as a kid, but there wasn't a hill big enough in Minnesota that gravity would take you down, so we had to get pulled by a snow mobile up and down the frozen river...thanks for sharing
