Medicine Wheel National Historic Landmark

On top of Medicine Mountain is the Medicine Wheel, an 80 ft diameter "spoke and wheel" alignment of rocks, with 28 spokes radiating from a central cairn and 6 smaller cairns evenly spaced around the perimeter. The original purpose of the Medicine Wheel is unknown, although scientists and archeologists believe that it was created between 1200 and 1700 A.D. by Native Americans. For many traditional Indian people the Medicine Wheel is considered to be the altar for Medicine Mountain, a site of great spiritual significance. Native American interpreters are present at the site during the tourist season.

Devil Canyon Overlook: Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area

The Devil Canyon Overlook is the easily accessible highlight of the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area. The overlook is situated on a point above a bend in Bighorn Lake where Devil Canyon joins Bighorn Canyon. The overlook offers views up and down Bighorn Canyon as well as into Devil Canyon where colorful canyon walls rise 900 ft above the lake. This is the only overlook that doesn't require hiking to the canyon rim. Several interpretive signs about the canyon geology and wildlife are located on both sides of the overlook.
