Pictograph Cave State Park (Billings MT)

PICTOGRAPH CAVE STATE PARK  is a National Historic Landmark in Billings, Montana. Approximately 30,000 artifacts ranging from stone tools, weapons, paintings and instruments used, have been identified from the site.  It's a short hike up from the visitor center to get to the caves.  This is well worth a visit if you are ever travelling through this area of Montana.
