Description
The rock pile located on the east side of I-25 in northern Weld County, Colorado just south of the Wyoming state line is the site of a bloody Indian battle. There used to be an historical marker at the site that said: "One day, a group of around 600 Crow hunters led by Jim Beckwourth, their mulatto chief, surprised a group of around 160 Blackfoot hunters
and chased them into these rocks. A bloody battle ensued in which the
Crows killed the Blackfeet one by one. Old Jim modestly admitted he
killed nor more than 11 Blackfeet, an understatement for him." The sign is no longer there, but the interesting rocks are if you know their bloody history. Now the rocks are covered with graffiti.
