An Exciting Montana Dinosaur Road-trip In 5 Hours Or Less

When Was The Last Time You Took The Dinosaur Trail?

Take the short drive to Choteau, it's less than an hour, and hit The Old Trail Museum.  Not only do they have dinosaur bones you can actually touch, they have Maiasaura and Einosaurus skulls, nestling, hatchling and adult Maiasaura skeletons and bones, and a Sauronitholestes skeleton cast.

Wow! Take The Small Town Drive In Tour This Summer

And don't forget to grab some ice cream at the Old Trail Ice Cream Parlor.  Such a great way to wrap up your Choteau dinosaur adventure.

But Wait, You Need To Go To Bynum

Then, hop in your rig and take the short 13 mile drive to Bynum.  Bynum has the Montana Dinosaur Center.  They're open every day in the summer for you to enjoy the center.  Also, you can make reservations to go on a REAL dino dig.  These run a bit of cash, but they're good for any age and talk about the experience of a lifetime.

Make A Day Of Choteau And Bynum

Rarely do you run into a town as quaint and beautiful as Choteau.  You could always have a bite to eat, the Log Cabin and John Henry's are my personal favorites.  If you don't want to do a restaurant, take a picnic and hit Choteau's gorgeous city park.  There is plenty of shade, a creek and even playground equipment. Then, before you leave, grab your bottle of Alpine Touch.

Remember, there is also a place to eat in Bynum, JD's Wildlife Sanctuary, (the bar).  I've eaten here many times and it never disappoints.  JD's is a great place for real bar food.  There's also a reservoir not too far from Bynum.  Also a great place for a picnic and a even a swim or fishing.  You can fish from shore at Bynum Reservoir.
