Wibaux, Glendive, Lindsay, Circle

Glendale was the first city that I reach in Montana. It's population is 5,126 provides many comforts that a rider comes to appreciate more during a tour.

At Glendive the elevation is 2054' and the farm and ranch land reminds me of North Dakota.   The town serves as a hub for the regional agriculture and ranching economies which helps to maintain the community. 

I have seen many miles of farmland and great expanses of land.

Like many of the towns the railroad established a station and that built the community. The Yellowstone River goes through Glendive and these always helps towns.

OOO. The area looks different.

Outside of Makoshika State Park is outside Glendive.  This is a nature preserve and public recreation in the badlands area. This is the largest state park in Montana.  In 1991 triceratops skull was discovered and in 1997 a thescelosaurus skeleton was discovered.  Both dinosaurs are on display.

Thescelosaurus skeleton is the most complete found. These grew 8-15'.

The formations are in the park are something to enjoy.

The Circle town park allows camping. There is also the Horse Creek RV Park. The town has a couple service stations. The high school is here too. The elevation is 2451'.
