Ep. 210: Little Bighorn Battlefield | Custer's Last Stand Bridger Montana RV Travel Camping

Рет қаралды 17,194

Күн бұрын

After running all the way from Colorado to escape the crowds, we find ourselves in the tiny southeastern Montana ranching town of Bridger. While we stay cool on cost-effective hookups in their lovely town park we knock Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument off our bucket list to see the site of Custer's Last Stand, check out the kayaking potential of Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, and learn more about the Crow Nation and one of its charismatic leaders at Chief Plenty Coups State Park, and in the nearby Pryor Mountains.

The first peoples were fascinating to me, free and happy for thousands of years

@GrandAdventure Жыл бұрын

Funny that you say that, for I've just spent this evening exploring some of the history on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. Happy and free, though, may be a stretch as many (especially the Sioux) spent centuries stealing other tribes' land, capturing/kidnapping and enslaving members of other tribes, etc. That's why the Crow fought alongside Custer's men at Little Bighorn.

Another great travelogue video of some locations that are a bit off the beaten path, especially the Little Big Horn National Monument and Bridger. You do a wonderful job describing the history of the locations you visit. Keep it up! I first saw the Little Big Horn battlefield in 1969 and only much later did I fully come to understand the Native American experience from their point of view. Have to admit many of the places you feature are places I've tended to blow through on the way to somewhere else. I got to learn to slow down and take in the history more. Thanks for reminding me of that! Edit: Why isn't the Travel Channel people calling you!? And bring on the Bear Tooth!

When Custer arrived at the Little Big Horn from North Dakota, he sent out two scouts. They came back an hour or so later. "We have some good news, and some bad news for you, General." " What's the bad news?" " It looks like every Indian in the world is right over that hill in warpaint. " " What's the good news?" "I don't think we are going back to North Dakota!"

@GrandAdventure 2 жыл бұрын

Montana is a gorgeous state, and so topographically diverse. When you go to Glacier, just remember to not make the same mistake most RV travelers make, which is the same mistake that they make in Wyoming and Utah, too. They focus on the marquee destination (Glacier in Montana, Yellowstone/Grand Teton in Wyoming, the Mighty Five National parks in Utah) and just drive through the rest of the state to get there. Meanwhile there's a "whole rest of the state" that they miss, or don't take the time to explore -- and which often contains sights that are the equal or sometimes even exceed those of the destination that they're so focused on reaching, and are typically far less crowded, too.

Marc, If you paddle the Bighorn Canyon , put in at Horseshoe Bend on the Wyoming side. Plenty of camping there with potable water and dump station, and it's right at the mouth of the canyon. From there you could paddle all the way through the canyon to Barrys Landing. ( Long day of paddling ) You can also opt for the guided boat tour. However, in years of serious drought I have seen the water at Horseshoe Bend dried up until there was only mud there. In which case you have to camp at Barrys Landing. Late spring is the best time to go, at least that's when I liked it most. The Bighorn Canyon was always one of my favorite places to go. Loved taking pictures of the wild Mustangs and Bighorn Sheep. www.nps.gov/bica/planyourvisit/upload/Waterway-Trail-Guide.pdf

Thanks for the tips John! One day we'll get back there to enjoy Bighorn Canyon as a destination unto itself.

@@GrandAdventure We've been to both sides ( The Fort Smith, Montana side , and the Wyoming Side near Lovell, WY ). I prefer to start at the Wyoming side because you see a lot more. Driving through you will see Wild Mustang Horses and Wild Bighorn Sheep. And the canyon itself is absolutely breathtaking!

Thanks Kim! We found it via an online directory, and added it to The Dyrt as well.

After going to the 9-11 memorial and how somber and sad I felt, I don't think I want to go where people died anymore.

@GrandAdventure 2 жыл бұрын

As I understand it, they documented it when reinforcements arrived and discovered the carnage.

Noticed you skipped over why the Lakota left their reservations. It was because of the slaughter of the Buffalo that had taken place. Plus it was the only time waring tribes worker together against the settlers.

There's some truth to that, Johnny. With so much to tell about the story of Little Bighorn we had to stay on topic.

Going to Pryor Gap into the Pryor mountains on the Crow Indian Reservation you know you're trespassing right or did you ask the landowners if it was okay to be on their land I am a Crow Indian from the crow reservation

Lance, trespass requires a knowing intent to violate someone's property rights: law.justia.com/codes/montana/2017/title-45/chapter-6/part-2/section-45-6-203/ We found Prior Gap Road while poring over USGS topographic maps. There were no signs posting the land, and had there been any we would have respected them, just as we did when we found tribal postings on Grapevine Road heading west out of Fort Smith.

I have been looking at this area and was wondering where to camp. I saw this place on The Dyrt and was wondering ii it was a good spot. Thanks for the heads up. You were wise to bail on Colorado. It's way over crowded and over hyped. Everyone should go to Utah instead.

@GrandAdventure 3 жыл бұрын

Glad that we were able to give you more insight on the campground, Doug. As for everyone going to Utah instead, we've got our own crowding issues over there. 😁

Is there any hope for heat to fade? On july 20th. I have a decision to make of high tailing it back to florida from colorado or to go back to utah. It sucks to no end being so close and only doing half the itinerary due to weather. Having offroaded out the wazoo i planned to boomerang back to wedge, goblin valley, capitol reef, escalante, bryce, page and kanab and Grand Canyon. But if it stays hot as hell… no way can i hike those spots. Grrr

It's definitely frustrating us as well this season, MTL. These temps are crazy. While we were in Bridger the normal highs are in the upper 70s to around 80, so they're running about 20 degrees above normal. That high pressure ridge over the West Coast needs to break down.
