For groups with more time, the park offers the Hill Top Talk. Groups meet a ranger at the Monument Hill Overlook for a more in-depth discussion on the Sand Creek Massacre. This talk will include the following:

• The Cheyenne and Arapaho

• California and Colorado Gold Rushes

• Indian War of 1864

• Sand Creek Massacre

• Events leading to the formation of the park

With additional questions from the group, this program can often last up to one hour. Educators should plan on a one hour block of time for this ranger-led program.
