Early day big game hunters who occupied lava caves around here more than 12,000 years ago, had a diet that included elephants, camels and giant bison.

When a gradual change to a warmer, drier climate made local grasslands into more desert their elephant herds left for cooler plains father north. But 8,000 years ago, bison still were available here. Indians continued to hunt buffalo on these plains until about 1840. Then they had to go to Montana for their plains hunting trips.
