| 説明 | The Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument is home to some of Montana’s most awe-inspiring landscapes. The Missouri, a National Wild and Scenic River, carves its way through land that has remained mostly untouched since Lewis and Clark traveled through the area over two centuries ago. The monument includes six wilderness study areas, the Cow Creek Area of Critical Environmental Concern, segments of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail and the Nez Perce National Historic Trail, the Fort Benton National Historic Landmark, a watchable wildlife area and the Missouri Breaks Back Country Byway.The area offers amazing hiking opportunities, and the national monument is a premiere floating and fishing destination. This incredibly stunning place is a must-see for anyone on a summer road trip through Montana. An interpretive center in Fort Benton, Mont., offers an in-depth history of the area, from the Lewis and Clark expedition to the fur trade era to the expansion of the railroad. From hands-on exhibits and special educational programs to a relaxing riverside walking trail, the center tells about the area’s cultural and natural history. The Interpretive Center is a public-private partnership between the Bureau of Land Management, the City of Fort Benton, and the River and Plains Society.

BLMer and Montana native Alyse Backus invited her father, Perry Backus, to tag along on her journey to capture some of Montana’s greatest places for the “My Public Lands Road Trip.” Also a photographer, he recently photographed the Upper Missouri River Breaks.“My wife and I raised our kids on public lands, and we created some really great memories on Montana’s BLM lands,” said Perry. “I am very proud that my daughter now works for the BLM to continue to preserve these same amazing places. Alyse and I made some more memories traveling to photograph some of these locations for the My Public Lands Road Trip. I am really grateful that I got to tag along and share those experiences with my daughter.” As we wrap up Montana’s portion of the #mypubliclandsroadtrip, we thank you for joining BLM Montana/ Dakotas on this journey and invite you to explore Big Sky Country!Photos of interpretive center courtesy of the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument Interpretive Center; Photos of Upper Missouri River landscapes courtesy of Perry Backus. |
