July 19 Sundance Wyoming

Sundance is a cozy Wyoming town that is tucked in the Black Hills, also related to a famous outlaw "Sundance Kid" who stole a horse, gun and a saddle from a nearby ranch. His nickname was coined from his short stay in the Sundance prison and he was the youngest ever jailed in Sundance and soon people referred to him as the Sundance Kid.

Town has a population of 1182 at an elevation of 4765 feet. Some cute local stores and shopping, well for 1182 people, think they might have counted some people that might be passing too, HA HA.

We took some pictures of town before heading to Devils Tower.

Devils Tower National Monument, America's most recognizable natural feature that dramatically rises 1,267 feet above the Belle Fourche River 27 miles northwest of Sundance. President Theodore Roosevelt established Devil's Tower as a National Monument in 1906.

The giant monolith is revered by the Arapaho, Crow, Cheyenne, Kiowa, Lakota and Shoshone. It's distinctive vertical columns, according to Native American folklore, were carved by the claws of a giant bear as it tried to reach a group of children.
