Located just 45 miles southeast of Billings on I-90,
Hardin is situated on the banks of
the Bighorn River. The Bighorn Canyon and Dam allow
a majestic view of the water below. Due north of Hardin
are other great locations on the Yellowstone River.
Hardin also sits on the edge of the Crow Indian Reservation.
The reservation offers two mountain ranges, the rugged
Pryor and Bighorn Mountains, with rolling hills and
semi-arid plains surrounding the peaks. Nearby lies
the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation. The Hardin
area is rich in history. Each year the Crow celebrate
their heritage at the Crow Fair with a powwow that is
the largest in the state. In addition, to the south
of Hardin is the Little Bighorn Battlefield, where the
Northern Plains Indians defeated General Custer and
the U.S. Army.
