The National Bison Range is a short 30-minute drive from St.Ignatius. It is a wonderful place to see stunning scenery, large herds of grazing buffalo, elk, antelope and other wildlife. It was established in 1908 and is one of the oldest wildlife refuges in the United States. Although there isn’t much for hiking there is a one-way gravel road that circles the refuge for a scenic afternoon drive. The National Bison Range also has a beautiful picnic area, perfect for family gatherings.
