US Highway 2 Across Montana

Yesterday, Friday the 13th, we left Glacier National Park and headed east on US Hwy 2. At Browning, Montana the landscape changed completely from mountains to high plains. For 2 days we traveled across Montana - 540 miles. We stopped Friday and spent the night in the Wal-Mart parking lot in Havre, Montana, then continued today on to Williston, North Dakota. Today we also crossed from Mountain Time back into Central Time. Montana is not called the Big Sky Country for nothing!



Although we did see some regular hay and corn fields, the big crop across Montana is wheat. Miles and miles past huge wheat fields.









Hwy 2 is 2-lane across Montana and over each hill it seems like you can see forever.









It was surprising - there were a few cattle farms, but not as many as expected. We did see lots of horses.



As we got into eastern Montana, we left the big wheat farms and other cultivated crops and started seeing a lot more rolling hills. This type of landscape continues into North Dakota.






We plan on being in the Williston area a couple of days, then it will be farther east on Hwy 2.
