The National Bison Range is near Ronan,
Montana. Besides the bison
they have pronghorns
bighorn sheep
deer
and elk, though the only elk we saw
were the ones in this picture, and we didn't know we were seeing them
until we enlarged it.
The animals live in a mostly natural
habitat, as they did before we got here. Much more interesting than
a zoo. The bison like to wallow in sand pits, to remove bugs from their fur
Outside the park is a roadside
restaurant where they serve – of course – bison burgers. Very
tasty.
The park includes some small mountains,
which you drive up and down and around, and some short walks to
scenic views of the surrounding valleys and mountains.
In the
visitor center you can learn all about the bison and their history in
the US. It's pretty far off the beaten path for most tourists, but
when you're on the way from here to there in your RV, it's not that
hard to get to.
