Road Access to Medicine wheels, or sacred hoops, were constructed by laying stones in a particular pattern on the ground. Medicine wheels are stone structures constructed by certain indigenous peoples of North America for various astronomical, ritual, healing, and teaching purposes. The Bighorn Medicine Wheel is a medicine wheel located in the Big Horn Mountains in Wyoming. The structure is located at an altitude of nearly 10,000 feet, near the summit of Medicine Mountain. It is a precolumbian structure, built from roughly loaf-sized stones gathered from the surrounding area.
