Every part of Montana is beautiful, and nothing reminds us of that fact like standing at the top of a viewpoint or an overlook. Our jaw-dropping views are part of what earned our state the nickname Big Sky Country.
If you’ve explored most of Montana, you’re most likely familiar with the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area. And when you get a chance to explore the area, take in the views from the Devil Canyon Overlook.
The National Recreation Area was established by an act of Congress in October of 1966 after the construction of the Yellowtail Dam by the Bureau of Reclamation.
The 17 miles of hiking trails winding through the park will help you explore it to the fullest.

The overlook sits just north of the Horseshoe Bend turnoff, and it's amazing.
