Who lived
here long after the ancient people left? Native
Americans and settlers made the area around the caves their home many years after
the ancient people left. Look out into the valley from high up near the caves
and imagine the stagecoaches and trains that crossed the land where the ancient
people once hunted.
Native Americans hunted and gathered food in the area when they lived here. Later,
settlers claimed the land for farms and ranches. They built schools, roads and
railroads. Montana Fish Wildlife and
