Glendive is tucked between the badlands and the Yellowstone
River, and is considered the hub city of the rich inland
agricultural area of eastern Montana and western North
Dakota. Large grain farms and ranches abound. Glendive's
main street is one-sided with a massive railroad yard
and roundhouse on the other side. Makoshika State Park,
one of the most impressive badlands areas in America,
borders the southern edge of Glendive. It is not only
attractive with its highly unusual rock formations,
but is a virtual warehouse of prehistoric fossils, mineral
specimens and dinosaur bones.
