This 150 miles section of river located in the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument in north-central Montana, is truly a special and beautiful place. Little has changed since people first came into this magical area. We know the history of this land, the river, and the people, as it has been written in books. But more importantly, we have a knowledge of the unpublished stories, oral histo

ries and folklore of the area. We know each bend, island, and river bottom along the Wild and Scenic Upper Missouri, and the history and lore associated with those sites. Whether your interests are in Lewis & Clark, the Fur and Robe Trade era & the Forts of the Upper Missouri, or Steam boating and that era's many colorful characters, or this area's earliest inhabitants....... we know the history and we can show you the places where history was made.

These are the places that take our breath away, the lands that remind us of what we all share as Americans. Our public lands set this country apart, offering space to hunt, camp, raft, hike, and roam freely.

As a community of outdoor enthusiasts,hunters, campers, rafters, Boondockers, and beyond, we understand the value of these places and the work it takes to protect them.

Today, we stand in solidarity with the stewards of our public lands. From the Upper Missouri River Breaks to every protected space across this nation, we recognize your dedication and offer our deepest gratitude. Thank you for all that you do.

Taking a moment to appreciate the incredible gift of our public lands….places where we can learn, grow, and truly connect with the world around us. The Upper Missouri River Breaks is more than just a landscape; it’s a living history book, a sanctuary for wildlife, and a space for reflection and adventure.

These lands have long been home to the Blackfeet, Assiniboine, Gros Ventre, and other Indigenous peoples who have stewarded them for generations. Their deep connection to this place reminds us that these lands are not just for us—but for those who came before and those who will come after.

Every bend in the river, every towering white cliff, and every quiet campsite is a reminder of why we fight to protect these places. They are what ground us, what inspire us, and what keep our communities thriving.

Let’s cherish, respect, and safeguard our public lands because they are what make us whole.

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of sleeping under the stars, paddling a winding river, or exploring rugged landscapes. Getting our youth outdoors isn’t just about fun—it’s about connection. Connection to nature, to adventure, to themselves.

Camping, canoeing, and exploring teach resilience, confidence, and teamwork. They spark curiosity and a love for wild places. In a world of screens and schedules, let’s give the next generation the gift of the great outdoors.

Adventure starts young—let’s make it happen!

We love witnessing the magnificent storms of the Upper Missouri River Breaks, It’s a powerful display of nature’s raw beauty. Dark clouds build on the horizon, casting shadows over the cliffs and plains as wind sweeps through the cottonwoods. Thunder rumbles, and rain begins to fall, sending ripples across the Missouri River’s surface. The land feels wild and alive, caught between the storm’s fury and the calm that follows. When the skies clear, sunlight breaks through, illuminating the rugged landscape—a reminder of the untamed spirit of this place.

Come experience these moments with us! From guided tours to DIY rent and shuttle options. We have you covered.

🌸 Spring on the Upper Missouri River 🌿

There’s something magical about this time of year. The river flows steady and true, birds fill the air with their songs, and the warmth of the day gives way to cool, peaceful nights. Wildflowers paint the landscape in vivid colors, and as the sun sets, the Milky Way graces the night sky in all its glory.

Whether you’re paddling along the water, hiking through blooming trails, or simply soaking in the beauty, spring is a reminder of the wonders this river holds.

Come experience the season where life blooms and the river awakens. 🌞🌌

One of the most common questions we get is: What’s the best campsite in the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument? That’s a tough one to answer—every site has its charm (and challenges)!

Dark Butte, for example, is absolutely stunning in good weather. It’s one of our favorites, with great hikes and beautiful views. But it’s also a campsite with a wild side. We’ve seen lightning storms tear through, leaving charred trees and little fires scattered around. One storm was so fierce it snapped our canoe tie-downs, sending Kevlar boats flying into fields and around trees!

She’s a beauty, no doubt about it—but keep in mind, Dark Butte has a reputation for weathering the toughest storms.

Have you camped here? What was your experience like?

Happy birthday, Montana. When I think of our great state, I see wide open skies, the hum of prairies, and the sweep of plains. I think of the freedom found in public lands and the timeless rhythm of farming and ranching. A place where adventure thrives and nature’s beauty stretches as far as the eye can see. May you find a way to celebrate today that feels as grand and meaningful as the land you stand on. For a birthday isn’t just a day — it’s the start of something remarkable, and Montana, you are that something.
