It is located east of Glendive. The park contains spectacular badlands which conceal dinosaur fossils. The park contains rock from the Hell Creek Formation and dinosaurs such as ''Triceratops'' are found there. In 1997, a fossil ''Thescelosaurus'' was found at Makoshika by an expedition led by Jack Horner and Bob Harmon. Birds such as turkey vultures, prairie falcons and eagles make their homes here. The visitor center houses a small museum with displays about geology and local fossils.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Visitor Center )〕 ==Facilities== *18 Hole Disc Golf Course.
