We left Glacier. We stopped in Browning, MT on the Indian reservation and viewed a very nice plains Indian museum. Then on to Cut Bank. Not a lot going on there. We bought groceries and went to Walmart.

We then traveled to Fort Benton. We toured the old fort there. fort Benton is the farthest the steamboats could go up the Missouri River from the Mississippi. It was the birth place of Montana. all trails lead to and from Fort Benton. The old fort was a fur trading post. Burnt Spoon was our tour guide, complete with his buckskins on.
