Indian Education For All Lesson Plan

You’ll find this day-use-only park seven graveled miles off Interstate 90 at the Logan exit. Take a picnic along and hike to the top of the jump for impressive views of the Madison River valley. Imagine how the area might have looked when prehistoric people “called” bison to jump to their death below the cliffs. Interpretive displays help visitors understand the dramatic events that took place here for nearly 2,000 years.
