Pompey's Pillar is less than 45 minutes away. Pompey's Pillar is a National Monument that rises 150 feet from a 2 acre base on the banks of the Yellowstone River. Captain William Clark of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, arrived at Pompey's Pillar on July 25, 1806, on his return trip from the Pacific. Clark marked his visit by engraving his name and date of his arrival. Clark named this rock Pompey's Tower and it was renamed Pompey's Pillar in 1814 when the Lewis and Clark journals were published.

Many casinos, restaurants, motels, pawn shops,coffee shops, and local churches and parks add to the friendliness of this Cowboy and Indians town. We love it here and I think you will too!!!
For our travelers we offer a nice Flying J and other gas stops for your traveling needs. Hardin has a nice IGA grocery store, a Family Dollar Store and a Shopko. We also have repair shops for some traveling problems you might have while traveling.
Billings is the largest city in Montana, I reckon, and has everything you could ever think of. Really!!!! Just a short drive on I 90 west. About 40 miles and I must say a beautiful drive there and back to Hardin.
