LOCALE Sundance, Wyoming is nestled in the valley of the Bearlodge Mountains in Northeastern Wyoming on the Wyoming side 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 the Free Museum. Sundance was established in 1875 as a trading post and prospered in the wide open frontier of its time.

It is just a short distance from Devils Tower, from Aladdin, Wyoming with its 1880 stage stop and 115 year old general store, Spearfish Canyon, Crazy Horse, and Mount Rushmore. Sundance lies along Interstate 90 at exits 185-189 in the northeast corner of Wyoming. Sundance is situated along the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountain range in the heart of the Wyoming Black Hills. Local terrain varies from tall grass prairie to ponderosa pine covered mountains. Sundance may be accessed by air via Rapid City or Gillette Airports. Powder River Trailways provides bus service to the area with connections to Denver, Colorado and Billings, Montana. Sundance has five motels, several bed & breakfasts nearby, full service campground, several eating establishments, a grocery store, convenience stores, gas stations, bars/liquor stores, hardware store which handles sporting goods and other retail stores.

Seller makes no warranties with regard to location of the fence lines in relationship to the deeded property lines, nor does the seller make any warranties or representations with regard to specific acreage within the fenced property lines.
