What a beautiful state, Montana is!!
We had soooo much fun exploring many places. My favorite was the Lewis and Clark Caverns.
First off, I LOVE the history of the place. Did you know that Lewis and Clark never even went into the caverns? Crazy, huh?! But, they did pass the area nearby and down below at the Jefferson River.
Anyhow, President Roosevelt named the caverns after Lewis and Clark, and it was the first national monument ever named after the two explorers. Cool, HUH?!
When my boys were younger, we went on a road trip to Texas, and we did stop off at the Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. Those were super cool, too, but it was a totally different experience, as it was less "hiking" and more just a walking tour. If I remember right, it was even wheelchair accessible. THIS IS NOT HOW THE LEWIS AND CLARK CAVERNS ARE!!! Our experience was way more like an adventure :)
For our PRIVATE family pics, head over to our other blog...
This is the road in and out of the caverns. We had around a 30-minute hike one way.
Cool formations!
They call this one the Empire State Building
