The Medicine Wheel is best experienced with a few people. The area has been revamped. The annoying fences are gone, with a short hike protecting the exhibit from vandals.

you reach this landmark after a unpaved way (not so long) Than you have to walk to the landmark It can be very cold and windy but it is worst to go because it is a place away from all the commercial places - a sacred place to rest and to pray

We drove up here on our way to Red Lodge from Sheridan. It was so beautiful and very high up! As soon as we got out of the car, the cold, fresh air hit us so we raided our suitcases for warmer clothes! The rangers were very helpful. We loved the hummingbirds feeding at their lodge. The walk to the... More

As you walk the windswept, winding path to this (pre)historic landmark, which has been a cultural and spiritual site for Native Americans for thousands of years, you have to approach it with the idea that you're not about to see the 8th Wonder of the World. You have to look much deeper than that at the rather ragged spiral of... More

A must see! Long dusty road to get there but well worth the trip. Very great energy in the space, a sacred piece of land indeed.

It is a unique monument to faith and wonder; the colorful strips of cloth flutter in the breeze, and wildflowers bloom in the mountain sunshine during the summer months. It has a feeling, this place---it is spiritual and primal. Visit it and see what your experience here tells you :)

I understand the spiritual value held by the site and mountain by the First American peoples. For a National Site, it was disappointing. Look at the photos on the web--they are better than any you can take and the area is roped off unless you have a permit. I usually love all the state and national historic sites but this... More

The Medicine Wheel National Landmark in the Big Horn Mountains of Wyoming, is a must see. The atmosphere there is intensely spiritual and quiet even on a windy day. It leaves you with a great sense of peace and wonderment. The view is incredible and on a clear day you can see over 100 miles to mountains in Western Wyoming.... More

I love that this is a National Historic Landmark that is still used by Native Americans. The walk up is a bit trying, but worth it. And the view is amazing.

We traveled to Bighorn to see both the gaping canyon filled with wild horses and soft snow-capped, above-timberline mountains that rim the Basin. Our most memorable stop was here at the Medicine Wheel. It was a spiritual awakening like no other. We were fortunate to witness a Native American in the Wheel paying homage. She solemnly chanted to her drumbeat.... More
