Missouri Headwaters State Park
Three Forks, Montana
   The converging of the Gallatin, Madison and Jefferson Rivers to form the Headwaters of Missouri River near Three Forks forms a waterway that stretches to the Gulf of Mexico. The geographical location holds prehistoric secrets, Indian legends, and a record of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
  The hiking the trails of the Missouri Headwaters State Park puts visitors on "Halo" ground of history.  Understanding and appreciating the Missouri Headwaters area needs spiritual, imaginative, and historic fore-thought.  It is a virtual landscape of spirits.  Designated as a primitive park, visitors find their way around unguided; following interpretive trails to vistas where one stands in the footprints of history.  The Headwaters has been referred to as a "Genesis Site," a timeless place for nature and spiritual renewal.
