US National Monument: Pompeys Pillar National Monument - Montana (2001)

Pompeys Pillar National Monument is located in Montana and was established in 2001.

This monument preserves the signature of explorer William Clark from the historic Lewis and Clark Expedition.

Visitors can take a short hike to the top of the bluff and enjoy the sweeping views of the river below.

There is also a visitor center with interpretive displays and an outdoor amphitheater.

The monument is open year-round and is a great spot for bird watching, wildlife viewing and photography.
