BIG TIMBER — In the heart of south-central Montana, where the Boulder River Valley sprawls out, a rugged trail leads to something unexpected: ancient pictographs tucked inside a quiet cave, preserved through centuries of weather and wonder. Accessible only by foot and largely unknown even to lifelong Montanans, the site blends outdoor adventure with deep cultural history. It’s a hidden trove of Indigenous rock art that continues to fascinate researchers and surprise hikers who stumble upon it.

BILLINGS — Another wave of energy riding through the flow out of the northwest will kick up more scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms Thursday afternoon into the evening before dry conditions move in late Thursday night. Wildfire smoke down from Canada could make for hazy skies, especially in east-northeast Montana, but the smoke should stay mostly aloft. Those with respiratory ailments should monitor air quality before stepping outside in case any smoke makes it to the surface.
