The Approach pullout overlooks the area where Chivington's forces dropped their baggage and prepared to attack the village. Exhibits here address the Cheyenne and Arapaho journey to Sand Creek as well as the soldiers’ journey from Fort Lyon to Sand Creek. Three wayside exhibits here explore the story up to the beginning of the attack on the village.
