 The Wyoming Black Hills are home to many unique cultural and geologic features. One of these features is a small mountain located between Sundance, Newcastle and Upton Wyoming called Indian Cara. This 6,368-foot peak is listed on the registration of historic places for its cultural significance. The mountain is sacred to many Native American tribes, including the Lakota tribe. The Lakota believe the mountain is important for the creation of life and the revitalization of the woman's body. Indian Cara also marks the starting point for General George Custer's expedition into the Black Hills. General Custer carved his name into Iraq on top of the mountain that can still be seen today. The scenic mountain was first described by a geologic party in 1857 by Lieutenant J.K. Warren. Warren was only there for a short duration before he was forced to leave by Native Americans hunting in the area. Indian Cara is surrounded by private property, yet the mountain itself is forest service land. While it is not open to the public, the mountain is easily viewed from Highway 585 or 116 in Northeast Wyoming.
