Medicine Wheel — Attraction in Lovell

Being Native American I wanted to see this place. I had heard of those of Native blood who had came there to visit, some powerful, some ordinary, like me. I did not realize nor did I imagine the spiritual presence that exists there. Being Native I was allowed to enter the wheel itself, inside the fence. I found myself over whelmed with the presence of The Great Spirit. I am a follower of Jesus and Yahweh. I am Keetoowah Ckerokee. But, very few times in church services have I felt His presence as strongly as I did at that moment. I found myself weeping, bowing before Him, and thanking Him. For, all that I have is from Him. As I write this, the memory of that moment floods over me and once again I experience Him. This is a powerful, powerful place. I have never felt His presence like this before. I was taught by my elders that we must live in this physical world but our Home is in the spiritual world. To any and all who read this I urge you to go there and give thanks to God, our Creator.

Trail to the medicine wheel site was wide, well maintained and easy to walk. I believe if you have a disability tag on your car, you can drive up to the site. There were two Forest Service employees gave us guidelines at the trailhead ranger station. There was a restroom at the trailhead. There were benches along the trail to look at the view. That's all good. The downsides were there were 4 schoolbus full of 4th and 5th graders, coming in waves with another USFS employee as a visitor guide.

People who visited the sacred site tied their bandanas, strings, etc., on the ropes surrounding the site, as if people treat it as a shrine. It sort of makes the sacred site messy. And the modern looking air traffic tower looking down the medicine wheel from the top of the nearby mountain was an...

I live in Australia and have had this love for Native Indians for as long as I can remember, I had waited 60 years to get to go to American and I did last year, I went to Aspen Col, how it happened I don't know but I got to go to a private Ute blessing of a Peace Pole. I can not tell you what this meant to me as I met the Ute elder and we talked for some time, I felt like I was so blessed and so honoured I will never ever forget it. I am going back in May of next year and The Ute Elder is taking me to meet other Native people, I feel that I was meant to go when I did and I was meant to meet with the Ute Elder, he was so wise and so proud and so kind, I just feel so proud to have done this after so many years of waiting...... The Medicine Wheel will be one of the things that I will get to go to, I am so...
