Favorite Places: Makoshika SP in Montana

There is a very cool state park I try to stop and shoot at when visiting the region near Glendive, Montana. It’s called Makoshika State Park. The name Makoshika is Lakota for ‘land of bad spirits’ or Badlands.

Similar to the badlands of North and South Dakota, with eroded hills and outcrops of various rock layers, cut by the Yellowstone River a long time ago, Makoshika will satisfy those photographers who enjoy shooting badlands type landscapes.

Sitting on the edge of Glendive in Eastern Montana, Makoshika is 40 miles west of the North Dakota border.

There are numerous hiking trails including Kinney Coulee and the Caprock Trail. The park also has camping available. This park is open year round and can be photographed early and late in the day for great results. Here is a picture and website info. montana makoshika sp Favorite Places: Makoshika SP in Montana
