Providing an overlook of the greater Billings area, the southern portion of Coburn Hill is home to the Four Dances Natural Area, operated by the BLM. The BLM acquired Four Dances Natural Area in 1999. The area sits on 765 acres of undeveloped space which includes Sacrifice Cliffs. The area is named after Chief Four Dances, a Crow Indian chief. According to a sign on site, the area was used by Four Dances in the 1830s as a vision quest location. The area is also a frequent nesting location for various birds of prey.^[7]
