Pictograph Cave State Park Overview | Parks of Montana

Pictograph Cave State Park is located in Billings, Montana and used to be part of an ancient sea. It contains over 30,000 excavated artifacts and has cave drawings that can be traced back 2,000 years. The caves are sandstone cliffs that rise up over the prairie and contain three main caves where you can find links to American Indians. Tribes had profound cultural and spiritual connections to this place and used it to record symbolic messages called pictographs that you can see today! Teachers can share this overview of the park with students as they prepare to visit the park or reflect on a recent trip.
