Rosebud Battlefield State Park
Rosebud Battlefield State Park, a National Historic Landmark on the rolling prairie of eastern Montana, preserves the site of the June 17, 1876, battle that was a harbinger to the Battle of Little Bighorn. Also known as the Battle of Rosebud Creek, the battle was between the United States Army and its Crow and Shoshoni allies against a force consisting mostly of Lakota Sioux and Northern Cheyenne Indians during the Great Sioux War of 1876. Remote, quiet and undeveloped, the 3052-acre state park remains much the same as it was during the time of the battle in the 1870s, though the park does not cover the entire battle grounds. It features interpretive trails, markers, and a visitor center with exhibits and artifacts. For generations before the battle, many peoples used the Rosebud Valley for hunting and gathering, including a cliff site used as a “buffalo jump” still marked with petroglyphs.

Allegheny National Forest
Allegheny National Forest celebrated its 100th birthday in 2023, and most of the trees are the same age. Decades of European settlers cleared away the old-growth hemlock and beech trees for lumber and paper, wiping out local deer populations and their predators. Once the National Forest Service took over in 1923, a different forest emerged, with black cherry, red maple and sugar maple dominating. Today, Allegheny is Pennsylvania's only national forest, a wonderland of over 500,000 acres for camping, hiking and water activities. There are also over 100 miles of ATV and OHV trails with a permit.
