The Eagle Chariot is one of two wheelchair accessible chariots on A Carousel for Missoula. Its intricate design features a basket-woven chariot made from thin strips of oak which were steamed and bent around dowels.

If you look closely, you'll see a piece of real fishing line from the fisherman's pole to the fish in the eagle's talons.
