Sundance History

Sundance Wyoming is nestled in the valley of the Bearlodge Mountains in Northeastern Wyoming on the western edge of the Black Hills. History and folklore abounds in the streets that were made for freight wagons and teams of horses, the Sundance Kid did his only jail time here and you can relive the history in our Free museum, located in the courthouse basement.

 

Sundance was established in 1875 as a trading post and prospered in the wide-open frontier of its time.  Not much has changed in the 100-plus years –  the skies are still huge and Sundance Mountain is breathtaking with its Native American Heritage and its monumental vista towering over this small town, population 1161.

Inyan Kara Mountain

Inyan Kara is one of the most interesting and least visited sites in the Black Hills. Like Devil's Tower 40 miles north, Inyan Kara is a pluton, an igneous intrusion that was forced upward into surrounding sedimentary rock as volcanic magma. Besides interesting geology, there is some fantastic history associated with this mountain. Should you ascend the mountain you will find one (possibly two) summit registers in a bush at the summit.
