Wondering through the loop trail through the Pictograph Cave State Park, visitors cannot help but wonder about the lives of prehistoric Montana residents that drew colorful cave paintings or pictographs more than 2,000 years ago.

The Pictograph, Middle and Ghost caves that make up the park were a home or a camp site to a group of hunters who left more than 30,000 artifacts and animal bones in all three caves and about 100 paintings on the walls of the Pictograph cave. Most drawings depict animals. The park around the caves is great for hiking and has a pleasant picnic facility. A modern Visitors Center offers more information on the caves and their exploration.
