We are staying at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Billings Montana. This hotel is within walking distance to downtown.Up early and ready for our adventures for today. Left DoubleTree hotel in Billings MT, walked through the tunnel and over to Stella's Kitchen & Bakery. Once there we placed an order for some coffee and breakfast sandwiches to go. Waiting on our food we could smell the aroma of all the fresh-baked bread and pastries. We decided instead of lunch we would get coffee and split the huge cinnamon roll :-)
On the road eating our breakfast sandwiches and sipping on some hot coffee. We are so happy to be on this journey together. As I look out the windshield I can see all this open land with miles and miles of highway the sun is upon the horizon.
As we arrived at the entrance there is a car ahead of us waiting for Little Bighorn to open. I saw 3 guys dressed in military attire trying to get their pictures in front of the sign. I jumped out of the car and told them I would take pictures for them. Once inside the area, we parked and saw all the tombstones in Custer National Cemetary.
I spotted a big bird I didn't know what it was I didn't have my camera so I told Marlon to sneak over and get a picture. The bird sat still while Marlon got its picture. Wasn't long and the bird noticed another person come over and scared it off. This bird is called a Sharp Tailed Grouse. It is a rare bird and so we were very very lucky to get these pictures: -)
We noticed a museum and entered. We toured around the museum and read all about the Last stand of General Custer and how the Indians defeated them.
Custer's Last Stand - Little Bighorn Battlefield
We walk up the hill to view the Memorial of Custers Last Stand. June 25, 1876, 262 troopers were under the command of the US Army's 7th Cavalry. This was the worst military defeat in US history.
INDIAN MEMORIAL- After reading the information on the monument we walked over to the Indian monument. The first thing we see is a metal ironwork outline of 3 Indian horsemen in battle. An Indian woman runs alongside one, handing him a shield. The monument is supposed to send the message "PEACE THROUGH UNITY". 
Red granite markers at known Cheyenne and Lakota warrior casualties have been placed throughout the battlefield approx 60-100. 249 headstones of General Custer's men that perished have white markers placed where they fell in battle.
While touring and hearing about what happened in this battle. I look out and the stillness with the wind gently blowing through the grass, you can almost hear the cries of inspiration from wounded men and horses. 
Check out all the wild horses and all the colts.

When we were finished with the driving auto tour we stopped and there was a ranger talking about the history of this area. We listened to the guide and he was very good at telling us what happened in this battle.
When we were leaving Little Bighorn across the road was a Trading post. I ask Marlon to please stop so I could go in. This place has a nice little cafe and a wonderful shopping experience for souvenirs.
Sunset was blocked by this hotel but I'm sure with all the amazing color it was beautiful.
