“These grounds are sacred”

For over 3,000 years, Indigenous people have quarried the red stone at this site to make pipes used in prayer and ceremony - a tradition that continues to this day and makes this site sacred to many people.

Great short hikes and informative visitor center with unique gift shop. Learn about the history of both the land and the people that lived on it!

Better than expected. Great one-two hour stopover. Nice easy paved trails to follow with information along the way.

Don’t look like anything at first but you hike in a little bit and it’s gorgeous there. Really really nice and charming place.

Staff inside are very nice and helpful. Free to see small museum inside with some interesting Native American exhibits. Not much to see outside if/when it is cold and snowy but texture and color of rocks look very interesting.

There is a small fee to see the inside exhibits but you can just walk the exterior path which is most of the monument. However they usually have someone crafting the stone inside and the peace pipes and jewelry are for sale inside. Worth a few bucks to go inside.

Beautiful and we were in awe! We were very impressed with how this area just emerged out of a prairie. We had a power wheelchair in our party and found the trails to be so accessible, to the falls and back. I hike a lot of different places and think this is truly one of my favorites! We did not go in the visitor center due to showing up after it closed.
