For more than 10,000 years, Native Americans used this site at the base of a 40-foot sandstone cliff as a camp site. Archaeological excavations during the last 35 years have revealed evidence of 60 different cultural levels. Different types of artifacts found on the various levels have provided important documentation of the ways that Indian lifestyles in the region changed over a very long period of time, and this is explained at an excellent interpretive center. During the long period of Indian habitation, many wonderful petroglyphs and pictographs were created, and these can be seen almost everywhere you look in the 200-acre archaeological area. Medicine Lodge Creek is also a fine place to observe wildlife, which includes mountain lions, prairie dogs, and more than 100 species of birds. |
