Who lived here long after the ancient people left?
Native Americans and settlers made the area around the caves their home many years after the ancient people left. Look out into the valley from high up near the caves and imagine the stagecoaches and trains that crossed the land where the ancient people once hunted.
Native Americans hunted and gathered food in the area when they lived here. Later, settlers claimed the land for farms and ranches. They built schools, roads and railroads. Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks, Pictograph Cave State Park Trail Guide, 1997.
