Montana is well-known for its connection to dinosaurs—we do have an entire dinosaur trail, after all. But if you don’t have time to chase fossils all over Montana, simply visit the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman. The world-class exhibits will blow your mind.

The Museum of the Rockies is a non-profit organization as well as a world-class cultural and natural history museum and research facility.

Montana's T.Rex was found near Fort Peck Lake in 1997, and it's one of the most complete dinosaur skeletons that has ever been found.
