Location: Frontierland, Magic Kingdom

Yee haw! Welcome to Frontierland! Earlier this year we took a look at a Hidden Tinker Bell at Big Thunder Mountain Railroad! Today, we are returning to Big Thunder to see that Tinker Bell isn't the only one hiding here.

Now if I were to ask you to close your eyes and picture Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, chances are you would picture something similar to the following image:

As the story goes, the mining town of Tumbleweed was built upon an ancient Indian burial ground. Due to this, spirits have taken over Big Thunder Mountain causing it to be home to a runaway railroad. While the story is a simple one, a detail most guests overlook is the fact that the chief of the Indian tribe is sticking around Big Thunder on a daily basis. In fact, he is in clear view to every guest that makes their way towards the wildest ride in the wilderness.

If you take a look at the top of the peak, you can find the chief's face, along with authentic Native American headdress staring down at guests who are stepping foot on his ancient burial ground!
