Across Central Montana the landscape dramatically transforms as higher-elevation land meets the Missouri River, giving rise to ruggedly beautiful cliffs, canyons, and ravines. This geological phenomenon, known as a "break" or "breakline," is a testament to the region's rich natural history and breathtaking scenery.
