Society & Culture:Places & Travel
On episode 56, we travel beyond Glacier National Park to Big Hole National Battlefield and Missoula Montana.
If you are buying an airplane ticket to get to Glacier National Park, consider spending some extra time in the state. This episode continues a series of extra adventures beyond GNP. This podcast is part of a multi-episode journey through Montana. It wraps up our review of travel options you can explore while visiting Montana.
Big Hole National BattlefieldBig Hole National Battlefield is about 5.5 hours south of Glacier National Park. On August 9, 1877 gun shots rained down from a hillside onto a sleeping camp of Nez Perce in the early morning hours. By the time the smoke cleared on August 10, almost 90 Nez Perce were dead along with 31 soldiers and volunteers. Big Hole National Battlefield was created to honor all who were there.
On this episode, we discuss our stops for the final leg of our Montana journey:
On our Foodie Corner, we stop at Tamarack Brewing Company.
