Description

*** The information below may be dated. It appears access may now be closed off by the private property owner. *** This is the site of an ambush on a group of Cheyenne and Sioux by the U.S. Calvary, back in the 1800s. It's on private land today, but hiking access is permitted and two monuments, as well as a couple of historical markers, are placed here. The battlefield is all plains and gullies, so it's an interesting walk terrain-wise, too.
