These three large crosses are on Red Hill, on the west side of Highway 270 about five miles south of Watonga. These crosses are visible from the highway, but are not directly accessible without crossing private property. A group of three crosses are usually a reference to Calvary, as they remember Jesus Christ among the two thieves, Dimas and Gestas. A silhouette sculpture of a Cheyenne scout on horsback, called Nanon, is nearby.
