I have gone myself to I think it might be called "Glass mountain" or something like that in this area. There is also the Jot Dean Ice Cave which is worth going down into. when I was there last there was a frozen waterfall with some small rocks or boulders in it that I could climb down the frozen water fall on. However, having a rope to do this might be better for general Safety because you also have to climb back up this frozen waterfall (if it is still there today). I still have a large piece of Obsidian which is what they made flint arrowheads out of. There had to be some agreements between the tribes to allow other tribes to go get these piece of black Flint to make arrowheads out of too for hunting deer and other animals for food.
begin quote from AI and Internet:
- The Medicine Lake Highlands region has been considered sacred by many Native American Tribes for millennia.
- Lithic materials like flint and obsidian are crucial for creating sharp, durable tools, including arrowheads.
- The ability to find and work with these materials provided a vital resource for hunting and other cultural practices.
- The Medicine Lake region is a source of these important materials, connecting the history of the tribes to the geology of the land.
- The connection to this land remains strong for the Pit River and Modoc Tribes, who still utilize the area for spiritual and cultural purposes.
- This continued use underscores the deep historical and contemporary importance of the Medicine Lake Highlands to these communities.
