⚠ Wildfire smoke from regional fires can settle into the Yellowstone River valley with little warning, reducing visibility to under 1.6 km (1 mile) and pushing air quality to unhealthy levels. Monitor Montana DEQ air quality reports in the days before and during your visit. Smoke events can last from a single afternoon to over a week.
⚠ Afternoon thunderstorms in July arrive fast and can produce hail, high winds, and dangerous lightning on exposed terrain. If you are on the Rimrocks or at Pompeys Pillar and see dark clouds building to the west, descend immediately. These storms typically pass within 30 minutes but are violent while they last.
⚠ The UV index reaches 8 on clear days at Billings' 945 m (3,100 ft) elevation. Sunburn can develop in under 20 minutes of direct exposure, for visitors arriving from lower altitudes or cloudier climates. Reapply sunscreen every 90 minutes when outdoors.
