Sundance works especially well for travelers who want the Tower by day and a real town—with services, meals and room to wander—at the beginning and end of it.
Why stop in Sundance
The town's history is tied to ranching, western settlement and the Sundance Kid, who took his name from the place after time in the local jail. Downtown remains compact enough to explore on foot.
What to add
- Visit the Crook County Museum & Art Gallery.
- Walk the downtown district and pause at the courthouse square.
- Head into the Bearlodge Mountains for hiking, mountain biking or a scenic drive.
- Use I-90 for an easy link to Spearfish, Beulah, Moorcroft or Gillette.
Sundance to Devils Tower
The drive follows Wyoming Highway 14 and Highway 24 through wooded ridges and open ranch country. Allow more time than the mileage suggests so you can stop safely at viewpoints.
Best forTravelers linking Devils Tower with I-90, Deadwood, Spearfish or a longer Wyoming route.
