Tensleep Canyon
From Meadowlark Lake down to the red ridged foot hills outside Ten Sleep, US Highway 16 or The Sweet 16 takes you through the awe-inspiring Ten Sleep Canyon. Extreme Sportsmen and women are finding this unspoiled beauty while rock climbing, caving, hiking, or mountain biking. The cliffs take on a life of their own with shapes and face carved out by millions of years of wind and water, with the trees and plants filling in the detail. A trip up or down the old highway is a special treat, but make sure you have time and a vehicle that can handle it.

Interpretive signs along the base of the bluff guide visitors through the history of the Medicine Lodge site and the surrounding region.
