I just wish it was cooler than the upper 90’s when we visited so we could have walked around some more and seen more of the battlefield markers.

The one thing I was surprised about is that there is a National Cemetery there that has veterans from the Indian Wars all the way through to the Korean War buried there. I would recommend a visit if you are driving along I-90 in Montana. The darkened stone is Custer's This is the side dedicated the the Native American Tribes From there ...
