Description and Difficulty: Samsal Boulder: 350 yard walk over level pasture. CM Russell Boulder: Short distance on sidewalks to the boulder. Samsal is a bison-form sandstone petroglyph boulder with more than three dozen petroglyphs pecked into its north side and along its ridge top. The most prominent motifs are a Biographic combat scene between two shield-bearing warriors and a spear-wielding rectangular-body human. Other images representing the Hoofprint tradition include two faces (one abstract and the other a circular head-and-neck with ears and a scalplock), a human figure wearing a bison-horn headdress, a bas-relief cloven hoofprint, and other abstracts. An historic graffito J.P.H. July 7 1894, is suggested to be associated with a Northwest Mounted Policeman from the nearby Writing-on-Stone Mounted Police outpost just across the border in Canada. First People's Buffalo Jump: Stairs will descend about 50 feet down to the bottom of the cliff and and then along the cliff face. There is an $8 fee at the First People's Buffalo Jump. Vehicle Distance (One way): 140 miles Vehicle: Any Number of Participants: 15 Meeting time: 8:00 am Leader: Cindy Sturm
