Description: The sites are about 80 miles west of Great Falls on paved and good gravel roads. Sites to be visited in this area have typical Foothills Abstract tradition paintings. These painted sites are just inside the Rocky Mountain front, and the Sun River Style of complete wall painting was originally recognized and reported from here.
Access to the sites below the Gibson Bridge dam are short walks down a rocky slope, and access to Hannan Bluff Cave is a short walk along relatively level ground.
Difficulty: Gibson Bridge sites: Just under a half mile walk round trip. The first 100 feet is down a relatively steep (ca. 50 feet elevation drop) trail. The rest of the trail is along an old roadbed.
Hannan Bluff: A short walk along an established trail from the parking area along relatively level ground with no significant elevation change. Total walking is about ΒΌ mile round trip.
