Biscuit Hill

Biscuit Hill
If you look to the east from Natural Fort, you will see more sandstone outcroppings.  This is still part of the same material and geological process that formed Natural Fort.  What makes this little spot interesting is that just beyond the fence, probably a few hundred yards, is one of the largest and undisturbed sets of tipi rings in the area.  There we several inhabitants in this area at one time.  Several large tipi rings, hearths, rock, and earth mounds are still visible.  Should you decide that you would like to take a closer look, you will need to get permission and access from the Terry Bison Ranch, as it is on their property.



*Note: The Google maps will only take you so far on Terry Ranch Road before it wants to put you onto I-25.  If you follow the road past the ranch, it turns into a dirt road and just keep going until you get to Natural Fort and Biscuit Hill.
