Sundance Horse Camp - Sundance, Wyoming

 


Bonnie said good-bye, gifting us a jar of home-made preserves and a bag of fresh cucumbers from her garden. I would love to be able to make bread and butter pickles, but my LQ kitchen wouldn't support that sort of project. I will have to be satisfied with a fresh summer cucumber salad.

On the way to our next campground, we drove by this butte on Hwy 585. Just stunning!

There is a rest area called the Sundance Rest Area that has a FREE RV dump. We took the opportunity to empty both our tanks.

Horses are on one end of the campground, so once again our water tank goes into the back of the truck to be filled up, so we can get water to the horses.


We are the only campers in the entire campground, so we put each horse into their own large corral.
No shade, but they get a nice manger for their food.




No hook-ups at the Sundance Horse Camp, but it's only $14/night.
Best spot is campsite #8 - it's level and next to the only water source.
We are in campsite #7.


We rode early as temps are going over 100 degrees F today. We rode the Sundance Trail. There is a good section that is narrow with a few spots that are eroded. My horse slipped a couple of times in the eroded sections.



The views are fabulous.

Sundance, Wyoming - population a little over a thousand - but they have a lovely public pool and seniors are FREE. From 5 pm to 6 pm is adult swim and they section off half the pool so adults can swim in peace away from the kids.
It felt wonderful to be in the water.


Signage at the Rest Area.
Sundance got it's name because it is near the Devil's Tower Monument. Native tribes would perform a ritual sun dance at the base of Devil's Tower every year.
