Medicine Rocks State Park

Because sheltering at home has been lifted and we have now moved into the phase of social distancing our local news station filmed a segment on suggested places to visit within the state. Most places we have visited and because we live in Montana they are not just an hour ride down the road but one park caught our eye, Medicine Rocks State Park. Hubby and I hadn't ever heard of the park and it was in an area of the state we had never visited, about a three and a half hour drive. The park is in the south eastern corner of the state. The area contains tiny towns with such distinguished names as Ismay, Mizpah, Plevna, Baker and Ekalaka. Small towns to start and even smaller now. Not knowing if there were any camping spots we decided to just hop in the car rather than take the truck and trailer.  A straight drive one hundred and fifty miles to Miles City, then a turn right and another hundred and twenty miles we were there! Medicine Rock State Park became a designated park in 1959
