US 191 climbs a steep grade out of the Missouri River bottoms north of Fred Robinson Bridge. As it gains the upper extent of the river breaks, a far reaching, high plains landscape sprawls towards Canada 125 miles to the north. The Little Rockies rises directly ahead and a rough, rolling prairie flows off to the east. You’re heading through historic landscape, once the domain of the nomadic Plains tribes, towards the valley of the Milk River and the ranching and farming community of Malta.
