2
Lodge Trail Ridge divided the drainages of both Piney Creeks from the drainage of Peno, now Prairie Dog, Creek. Up this divide, north beyond Phil Kearny, the Bozeman Trail climbed on its route to Montana. There, on December 21, 1866, in violation of explicit orders, Fetterman led his command of eighty-one men, and there were no survivors to return.
