What a unique, beautiful park! We did some of the hikes in the hot hot heat. Make sure to bring plenty of water, especially in the summer! Some of the shorter hikes are still kind of hard. The terrai… Full review by Emily L

Is the entire park dog friendly, or just outdoors?

I have witnessed small, lap dogs in the Interpretive center. But they were being held by their owners. I doubt a large dog would be very welcomed in the interpretive center among all the nice displays. Here in Montana though, the outdoors are a pets paradise. But yes, you will have to be concerned about our prickly pear cactus, ticks, and large predators on the west side of the state as previously mentioned. The ticks and the cactus are probably your biggest worry in eastern Montana. Come and enjoy!

Only on the public roads, and only if your ATV is licensed. There are no ATV trails or any other off road trails for ATVs inside the park. However, there is a super nice and very large ATV /motorcycle riding area on Bureau of Land Management lands just a few miles from the park, south of Glendive on HWY 335.
Are there places to hike in the park that are easy to do? Can you drive around the park to lookout points?

Hiking and driving: The park can generally be visited with a vehicle. Upon entering from Glendive, the road is paved, and as you drive up into the hills, the road becomes gravel, and, finally, a dirt road, which can frequently be closed due to rain. Hiking on the road is what most campers do, with the hills being steep but the roads and trails are well-maintained. The "badlands" views from the road are great. Be aware that off-road and trails may have rattlesnakes, and it is sunny, so stay covered. If you go, be sure to make it to the amphitheater.... a great place to observe the park.... and a starting point for a serious hike into a strange part of our planet.
