Located about 50 miles south of Red Lodge and Billings, MT, in the Pryor Mountains, this remote interpretive site has a short walk (0.2 miles) down a steep path to a wooden platform. You can view the always present ice floor in the first room of the cave.

The Big Ice Cave Picnic Ground has 5 picnic sites for day-use only.
