An unexpected hidden gem of a national historic site! Like all sites in the national Park system this one is unbelievably well done and even has a full-time blacksmith.
After the Sand Creek Massacre, the Cheyenne, Apapho, and Sioux People gathered here and decided to raid Julesburg before moving north at the start of the Plains War.
Finally! After the long and painful days of terrible weather in the desert, I had a reservation for the self-guided tour and planned to explore the caverns and enjoy the windless world.
After visiting the Sand Creek Massacre site a few years ago, I knew that visiting where Peace Chief Black Kettle was killed was high on my list of National Treasures to experience.
For years, I've heard about Oklahoma City Bricktown, and I was excited to visit. Unfortunately, it seems that it is a much more popular place in the warmer months of the year.
No matter how many times I wander into a historical site dealing with Native Americans, I am continually disappointed at how so-called Christian Europeans treated them.
