welcome to sundance!

WELCOME TO SUNDANCE

Let the name Sundance evoke images of a rowdy Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid leading the wild bunch on the longest stretch of train and bank robberies in the Old West history. Then imagine serene Native American Villagers camped at the base of the majestic Sundance Mountain where they performed their sacred Sun Dances. Immerse yourself in Sundance’s true west story where outlaws weren’t actors and North American cultures were on a collision course. This historic gateway Wyoming town is only 28 miles from America’s First National Monument, Devils Tower. The Sundance area offers uncrowded, four-season outdoor activities in over 200,000 acres of the Bearlodge District of the Black Hills National Forest. In the community, excellent restaurants and relaxing bars, motels, resorts, and quaint retail shops await you at the end of the day. Be sure to visit the Crook County Museum and have your picture taken with the Sundance Kid, in the town where the Kid got his name!

OUTDOOR RECREATION

Wherever you call home, you will find the perfect fit for your search for adventure in Sundance, Wyoming. The seasons talk plainly to us here in Sundance, and they dictate the direction we take to enjoy breathtaking escapades that thrill our hearts! In spring, summer and fall, hiking in the beautiful Bear-lodge Mountains and the Black Hills National Forest of Wyoming will suit almost anyone. In spring, the hills are spread with numerous wild flowers. In summer the prairie grass waves in the breeze as you make your way to higher and cooler elevations. In fall the trees wear their most colorful attire, and wildlife enjoy the seasons just as we do. And, of course, the winter wonderland that Sundance enjoys is nothing short of spectacular. Snow machines, skis, snow shoes, and sometimes just warm hiking books will carry you to new heights of beauty.

Crook County

Sundance

Northern Hills

One February morning in 1887, a young fella named Harry Lonabaugh, later known as The Sundance Kid, was walking from the Black Hills to Montana to look for ranch work. Just north of Sundance he spotted

a ranch hand who had left his horse unattended. The horse was set with a saddle and guns. Well, it was snowing and cold so Harry decided he needed that horse more than the ranch hand, so he jumped on it and took off. It wasn’t long before Sheriff Ryan of Crook County caught up with Harry in Montana. The first attempt to bring Harry to justice was unsuccessful. The second time the sheriff caught up with Harry, he spent 18 long months in the Crook County jail in Sundance. After Harry was released from jail, he became known as The Sundance Kid and joined up with Butch Cassidy and the Hole in the Wall Gang. They started the longest crime spree in American outlaw history. They robbed banks from Canada to South America but never were seen in Sundance again.

The route goes from about 1 mile east of Aladdin along Hwy 24 to Devils Tower and includes a walking portion around Devils Tower.The tour takes visitors past the Aladdin Tipple, where coal was loaded on trains or trucks to be shipped east, then through Aladdin’s 110 year old trading post. Along the Belle Fourche river, learn about the history of Hulett and into Devils Tower. The walking portion follows the paved path around Devils Tower. The tour can be taken in either direction.

Vore Buffalo Jump

ticated animals in North America, were used for hunting, haulng, transporting, guarding campsites and as a food source. Breeding dogs with wolves was common. Five canine skulls have been found at the Vore Site. These skulls provide evidence that the Native Americans broke off or filed down the canine teeth of their dogs…presumably to prevent the dogs from injuring their owners or other dogs and to prevent them from chewing through their tethers. An exhibit at the Vore Site features one of these skulls. Tours of the Vore Site are guided by trained interpretive staff. Exhibits focus on how Native American hunters “jumped” bison, the tribes who likely used the sinkhole as a bison trap, how meat and hides were used, and the artifacts left behind by the hunters. Families are welcome, a number of exhibits are geared to children.


Vore Buffalo Jump

I

The Vore Buffalo Jump provides a unique insight into over 250 years of Native American History. The Vore Buffalo Jump features enormous quantities of bone and stone artifacts that are perfectly preserved in discrete, precisely datable layers and held in place within a natural bowl. Within the site are the butchered remnants of more than 4,000 bison as well as thousands of chipped stone arrow points, knives, and other tools. The materials are contained within 22 cultural levels that extend downward to a depth of nearly 25 feet. Because only about 10% of the Vore Buffalo Jump has been excavated, there is potential for decades of scientific research in several different disciplines...archaeology, tribal ethnohistory, zoology, geology, and paleoclimatic studies. Dozens of technical papers based on data from the Vore site have already been published. Just as the Black Hills attracted Native Americans, visitors from around the world are fascinated by Plains Indians. Because it is literally a stone’s throw from one of America’s busiest highways, the Vore Buffalo Jump is also one of the most accessible of the major Plains Indian archaeological sites to the traveling public. Until the late 1700s the only beasts of burden used by the Plains Indian tribes were dogs. Dogs, the first domes-

The Real Story ofPotato Creek Johnny

A local legend passed down through the families in Crook County.

A prospector drifter from Deadwood John Perrett, later known as Potato Creek Johnny, had been seen walking to Sundance on a regular basis. Once day after Johnny had left town, it was discovered that an Indian residence near Sundance mountain had been ransacked, the floors were torn up, and the owner murdered. About a week later word came from Deadwood that Johnny had found a huge Gold nugget in Potato Creek, which was curious because there was no gold ever found before then or since then in Potato Creek. Johnny earned the nickname Potato Creek Johnny and was never seen in Sundance again.

Potato Creek Johnny, had been seen walking to Sundance on a regular basis.
