Just a parking spot.

I showed up here at night and there was nothing. No lights or anything. I got back on the 90E. and found a rest stop to park and sleep. The good thing about this place is there were restrooms. I would not come back here.

It's free, it's legal but you wont get much sleep

Definitely just a place to pull over and try to sleep if you can. It's free, it's legal but it's right beside railroad tracks and the train runs every other hour and that area is where it starts to sound it's horn coning up on Bozeman.

Quick Stop for Sleep

We parked here overnight for a quick nights rest in the jeep before continuing up to Glacier from Bozeman. Did the job, no amenities, this is definitely just a place to park and sleep in the car, i’m sure you could set up a tent inside the trail but when we went April 2019 there was a moose carcass up the trail and wanted to avoid grizzlies and scavengers lol
