Glasgow is your starting point for this trip. This trip is a 202-mile circle so plan your time accordingly. We’d recommend at least 2 days. This route will take you through endless miles of strip wheatfields and rolling grasslands. Head two miles east of town and take Route 24 north to Opheim. To the west of you, beyond a few farm roads, is some of the wildest prairie lands in the northern part of Montana—Bitter Creek.
After visiting Opheim go east on Highway 248. Along the way, you’ll pass through the towns of Glentana, Richland, Peerless, and Four Buttes. Stop at each one if you can.
A stop in Peerless isn’t complete without a visit to Dutch Henry’s Bar. The place is named for an outlaw who roamed these parts in times past. You actually learn a lot about the history of the area from the photos on the bar’s walls.
When you get to Four Buttes notice the stately buttes to the northwest from which the town got its name. Continue on to Scobey where you’ll want to be sure and visit Pioneer Town, arguably one of the finest exhibits of its kind in the west.
Head south out of Scobey on Highway 13 through the Poplar River Valley to Highway 2 and the Missouri River
