Cape Air Flights to Makoshika State Park from Billings

Cape Air flights from Billings to Glendive give travelers direct access to Makoshika State Park. The park is just eight miles from the Dawson County Airport in Glendive. Makoshika, Montana’s largest state park, sits on 11,538 acres of beautiful badlands at an elevation of 2,415 feet.

Explore the park by car or on foot and take a trip back intime to when prehistoric creatures roamed the area. Be sure to stop by the visitors center at the park entrance, which houses an interpretive center, a Triceratops skull, and fossils remains from Tyrannosaurus rex and other prehistoric life. Enjoy a hike along the well-marked trail system, take a scenic drive, play a round of frisbee golf, or take a picnic lunch and enjoy while you surround yourself with the beauty of the badlands. The park has fifteen camping sites where campers can stay for fourteen days. Campsite reservations can be secured online by visiting www.stateparks.mt.gov
