Glendive is a friendly, low‑stress base for multi‑week contracts—tucked between the Yellowstone River and the dramatic badlands of Makoshika State Park, it delivers easy hikes, fossil‑rich scenery and a small but lively downtown that makes evenings and days off pleasantly active rather than painfully boring.
For bigger‑city needs, Sidney is about 53 miles away for more restaurants, shopping and services, so you get quiet, affordable living with reachable amenities when you want them.
