About Medicine Rocks State Park
Medicine Rocks sits in remote southeastern Montana, where weathered sandstone pillars rise in odd shapes full of holes and tunnels. Thousands of inscriptions cover the rock, some dating back centuries, and the site is regarded as sacred by Plains Indians. Visitors can explore on foot, photograph the formations, watch wildlife such as mule deer and antelope, picnic, or camp. The park is also a designated International Dark Sky Sanctuary, and it hosts occasional night hikes and bat walks.
