Memorial Day through Labor Day you can visit the “Windows on the Past” High Plains Archaeological Dig site. This archaeological excavation was a field study for the Archaeology/Anthropology students from the University of Wyoming. Visitors can view the actual excavation tiers dating back to prehistoric finds over 10,000 years ago and up to the surface trash midden used by the homesteaders and early Pine Buffs towns people in the late 1800’s to early 1900’s. The site is now housed in a building for protection and includes the complete history of the study depicted on panels with pictures, descriptions, and artifacts. You can drive to the site or walk to the site from the rest area. If walking is your pleasure, there is a path that leads from the rest area and goes over the bluffs, along the way you can view the beautiful wild flowers and wildlife.
