Very Informative History Tour - If you want to know the history of the Crow Indians, take this bus tour. It is long, we were about 3 1/2 hours, but the history buffs in our party liked the narrative by our guide, Jacob (his English name), who was a Crow Indian. The reservation is huge and the Big Horn Valley area where the reservoir is located, is the highlight of the trip. Did not get to see Custer's memorial or the actual Crow living area - it is off limits to everyone but the Crows - but the history we will not forget. Jacob talked for the whole trip - amazing storyteller. If you like history, take this tour. Be aware that the store in Garryowen Road where you meet, has no restrooms (porta potties only) and no snacks of any kind. There are restrooms at the reservoir area which is the only stop on the tour.
