Medicine Rocks State Park is a state park and recreation area named for a series of tall sandstone pillars with eerie undulations, holes, and tunnels in them known as the ‘Medicine Rocks.’

The Montana park is 330 acres and 3,379 feet in elevation and features numerous examples of Native American rock art.

Considered a sacred holy place by Plains Indians, tribes once came here in search of food and medicinal plants to use in their vision quests.

The site boasts chained and isolated arches, and caves and spires reaching 80 feet high and 200 feet across, along with thousands of ancient tribal petroglyphs, inscriptions of elk, cattle brands, and military mentions, a famous profile of a woman with a flower beside a bird, and signatures of cowpunchers.

Medicine Rocks State Park is open year-round, and there are 12 camping sites and a museum located nearby in Ekalaka.
