Indian Education For All Lesson Plan
A visitor center and interpretive trails tell the story of this prehistoric bison kill site, one of the largest in the United States. For over six hundred years, Indians stampeded buffalo over the mile-long cliff. Now, the top of the jump gives you panoramic views of the Rocky Mountain Front, the Missouri River valley, and the buttes and grasslands that characterized this High Plains setting. Plan at least a two-hour stop in this day-use-only park.
Montana State Parks in cooperation with the public developed the Ulm Pishkun State Park management plan. The plan focuses staff efforts on managing the park's natural and cultural resources, visitor services, park infrastructure, tourism, and educational programs.
