the walk up the stairs to the grave site can be a bit much for the out of shape, but getting there is half the battle for the fantastic view at the top! More

The monument itself is interesting but just average. It's the view from this area that makes the deal. From here you can see parts of the SIoux City and the forks bends of the river. You can see where Iowa, South Dakota and Nebraska meet. More

Great history with a view. This site commemorates War Eagle who was an early settler in the Siouxland area. The sculpture is interesting and the area is very peaceful. Worth the effort to find once you get off the interstate. More

There is a bare minimum of information about War Eagle at the site, but the medium of the monument is interesting, and there is a great view of the river and surrounding area from the bluff where the monument is located. Worth a quick stop as you drive up/down the interstate... More

The view was great from above the cliff once I finally found the monument. It really wasn't that much of a big deal really. Watch driving up there as well just a dirt /gravel path, I could see someone getting stuck in the mud up there. More
