03 Little Bighorn National Monument

Considered one of the most important historic US landmarks, the Little Bighorn National Monument commemorates the Battle of Little Bighorn, also known as Custer's last stand. The site is a memorial for the Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapaho Native Americans who died fighting during the 1876 battle. Begin your trip at the visitor center, where you'll watch an orientation video. Attend the Park Ranger talk, then take a self or guided tour of the 765-acre park, stopping along spots like Deep Ravine to see the markers remembering the final resting places of Native Americans and US troops.
