The setting is very picturesque. With its strong ranching heritage still very much evident, Roundup is reminiscent of early-day western towns. U.S. Highway 12. Lavina's old-style mercantile store, built in 1912, is a good place to stop and stock up on pop and other treats. A bucket trolley system used in the old days to move bills and coins to a cashier in the loft is still intact.
Cowboys riding bucking horses and bulls are a regular feature of the all day affair.
It's a highly entertaining event. The setting for the rodeo, with the beautiful Crazy Mountains in the background, is absolutely awesome. Antelope are a common sight grazing along U.S. Highway 191 north of Harlowton. Lewistown is generally not a destination spot for tourists. It is nonetheless a very nice place to visit.
