Description: The sites are about 70 miles southwest of Great Falls. The Rock Creek pictographs include large shields, a lizard surrounded by a wavy line, and a shaman anthropomorph surrounded by a wavy line. Access to the site is by paved, gravel, and two-track road on mostly flat ground. It is a short easy walk from the two-track to the site, although there can be downed timber to cross. The Elk Creek sites are across the Missouri River from Rock Creek and only about 20 miles away, but it may involve about an hour of driving because of the gravel roads. The pictographs are within the Big Belt Mountains and are good examples of sites within this mountain range with abstracts, handprints, and bear prints. All sites are near the roads with easy walks. Difficulty: Rock Creek: About 100 feet of walking from parking to the site, on mostly on flat ground but there is no established trail. There is a pipe and a dam to cross. There can also be downed timber. Total round trip walking about 200 feet. Elk Creek Pictos: All sites are next to the road with no established trails and no significant elevation change. Vehicle Distance (One Way): 100 miles Vehicle: High clearance. Most travel is on paved roads but there are short gravel and two-track sections.
