Images from Medicine Wheel National Historic Landmark, Wyoming

I have visited Medicine Wheel twice with my father-in-law Richard, and it is truly a mystical place. For those of you who might be travelling east from (or driving west to) Yellowstone via U.S. 14, a side trip Medicine Wheel is definitely worth it. The two kiosks below will provide more information about it.
