Sacrifice Cliff , located on the east end of Black Otter Trail, was the site of a Crow village. Upon a war party's return, young braves found the village decimated by smallpox. Warriors blindfolded their ponies and rode them over the cliff to appease the gods and halt the epidemic. Before the white man, before the Crow Indian, and long before the buffalo, the western Indian hunted the woolly mammoth, and documented the hunt with cave paintings. Over 4,500 years ago, Pictograph Cave State Park was home to these Indians.
Paintings are still visible.
