Before you even get to your destination, it's always fun to stop at random roadside attractions, and while Pompey's Pillar's not a cheesy, money stealing scam, it is a stop on the old highway that people might not know about until they pass half a dozen signs and read a small description about it at Montana's visitor center. For $7, it actually is a pretty neat rest stop. You walk up this big ass rock on the edge of the Yellowstone River, talk to some nice volunteers, and get your picture taken next to the only surviving signature that William Clark left while he and Lewis trekked across the country back in 1806 claiming new lands for the US. If you're ever in the Yellowstone County area and have the time to spare, check it out. Even if you're not a fan of dead men's tags, the marmots that hang out around the rock are super cute to look at!
