Meneeohe

Meneeohe, “Shell River” in Cheyenne, is the North Platte River. It rises in the mountains of Colorado and flows north into Wyoming before turning east across the plains. In its upper course the river winds through broad basins and between mountain ranges, linking high country with the grasslands beyond. Cheyenne and Arapaho people traveled across this region as their hunting grounds extended from the plains toward the mountains.
