Pictograph Cave State Park is a 23-acre state park and reserve with three caves featuring pictographs that are over 2,000 years old.

Located five miles south of Billings in Montana, the park was excavated in 1937, and the pictographs were discovered, along with more than 30,000 artifacts and over 20,000 animal remains, ranging from large mammalian species to reptiles, amphibians, and birds.

The deepest of the three caves, Pictograph Cave spans 160 feet wide and 45 feet deep and still has visible pictographs that document the story of the Native Americans of the area for thousands of years thought to be between 200 and 2,100 years old.

The site was designated a National Historic Landmark and featured paved trails to the caves, with interpretative and informative displays detailing the prehistoric paintings, natural features, and fauna and flora found in the area.
