First Peoples Buffalo Jump State Park, Ulm

We were spending a few nights in Great Falls on our way to Alaska and had to get some parts at a local RV shop. Fortunately for us, we missed our exit and had to drive to Ulm to do a legal U-Turn. As we exit the highway I see the sign to First Peoples Buffalo Jump State Park. Interesting name so we decided to visit. So glad we did; the young receptionist was very helpful and after talking with her and two Park Rangers we decided to tour the facility and site. What a piece of history we knew nothing about. Fascinating and then taking the drive to the cliffs I couldn't imagine running ahead of a herd of buffalo and at the last minute jumping over the edge to safety. This park is definitely worth a visit. Make the time.

The museum and gift shop were quite interesting. It was cool to be told, "Please, touch" instead of, "Don't touch." While the building itself is not right by the jump site, you can drive to the top of the cliff to look out over. If you want to see the bottom of the jump site, be prepared for a few miles of trail hiking or bike riding from the museum.
