Log Text: Used the mound as a backdrop for a series of photographs I took leading up to the total solar eclipse at 1318, 21 Aug 2017. On a previous visit it appeared that a farm road north of the mound was the closest access point (one could drive as far as the railroad,) but the county road south of the mound is a far better view point.

Bighorn Medicine Wheel submitted by bat400 on 26th Aug 2006. This sun wheel cairn arrangement is in the Bighorn National Forest, on Medicine Mountain. The fencing discourages casual vandals. Many visitors leave offerings.

Log Text: From a parking area, you'll need to walk nearly a mile (one way) over a saddleback to where the structure stands on a flat area on the slope of the mountain. The walk is on a graveled roadway, and is not difficult. However, be prepared for wind, sun, and the altitude, which can be taxing for many people.

Serpent Mound, Ohio submitted by bat400 on 27th May 2006. Serpent Mound, Adams County, Ohio.
View looking toward the serpent "tail" which curls into a tight spiral. This view is to the west and taken from ground level. Note the size by the three figures walking between the coils of the tail. The horizontal line just above and beyond the mound is a guard rail installed to prevent people from falling down the steep face of the hillside and into Brush Creek below. The mound was built at the very edge of a narrow ridgeline that drops off on three sid...

Angel Mounds - Mound A
Date Added: 12th Sep 2010
Site Type: Artificial Mound
Country: United States (Great Lakes Midwest)

Angel Mounds - Mound A submitted by bat400 on 22nd Jun 2006. Mound A, the "Chief's" Mound, at Angel Mounds, Vanderburgh County, Indiana.
This view is from the south west. Stairs have been installed to allow a visitor to climb to the top of the mound while still preventing errosion. The main excavation at Angel was done by Glenn Black in the 1930's and 40's. He felt that differences in vegetation indicated that a wooden stairway had once existed in the mound on this face.

A view of the exterior. Directly behind the museum building is the footbridge to the large town site.
The building includes the museum, gift shop, WCs, and all you'd expect. But in a twist there are meeting rooms and a kitchen you can rent. Have your wedding and reception at a prehistoric site? You can do it!

Prehistoric, but not attributted to a particular culture. This is a reconstruction to restore the original 1870's survey height of the mound (6 feet.) The figures at the left, beyond the mound are a bit taller than 5 feet.
