June 2005, FIRST PEOPLE'S BUFFALO JUMP State Park Great Falls, MT

For a wide open open vision of the West, try Ulm Pishkun Buffalo Jump state park. The park was recently renamed, "First Peoples Buffalo Jump," but will always be Ulm Pishkun to me. From a distance, the cliffs look unimpressive as they so subtly blend into the rolling planes---but that is what made the buffalo jump so effective for thousands of years.

Best time to visit is when there has recently been rain, and the sky has opened up.
