Vore Buffalo Jump

Vore Buffalo Jump

 The Vore Buffalo Jump is an archeological site in Crook County, Wyoming – one of the most important archaeological sites of the Late-Prehistoric Plains Indians in the region. A sinkhole formed where gypsum soil was eroded, leaving a steep-sided pit about 40 feet deep and 200 feet in diameter. Native American hunters could stampede bison in the direction of the pit, which was deep enough to kill or disable the animals that were driven into it. The location is one of a number of buffalo jump sites in the north central United States and southern Canada.

Conveniently located on Interstate 90 between Mount Rushmore National Monument and Devils Tower National Monument.
