| | The juniper canyons of river country define this region. Explore the badlands of Makoshika State Park, looking for dinosaur bones and fossils. Paddle the 12-mile reservoir of the Tongue River, fishing for walleye and bass, then hike or bike through one of the six separate units of Custer National Forest, the most ecologically diverse forest in the north. Keep watch for mountain goats, elk, grizzly bears, deer, black bears, wild turkeys, and grouse. Bighorn Lake provides cooling relief on the warmest of days, with nooks or every type of boater. |
