We also provide a chart of the night sky showing the constellations and satellites that zoom overhead. Truly a unique experience for adults and kids.

Bigfoot Pass Overlook
Bigfoot Pass Overlook is named after Chief Bigfoot, who led his tribe while being chased by the U.S. Army through the Badlands until they reached the sight of Wounded Knee, where men, women, and children were massacred. Chief Bigfoot was known for his diplomatic skills, but sadly, that didn't save him and his tribe from genocide at the hands of the U.S. Government and Col. James Forsyth.
