Bear Butte is a very special place. In the Lakota language, this sacred hill is called Mato Paha and in the Cheyenne language Noahvose. It is a highly sacred and symbolic place for these two nations. You can go to the "visitor center" to discover the museum dedicated to the site, and also take a path that leads to the top. Allow an hour for the climb. Vision quests can take place here at any time. It is very important to respect this place of prayer, and not to leave the marked paths. The pitches of the campsite are located by the lake.
