Ten Sleep

Ten Sleep

      town, Washakie county, north-central Wyoming, U.S., situated in the Bighorn Basin, west of the Bighorn Mountains, 25 miles (40 km) east of Worland. The site, at the junction of Nowood and Ten Sleep creeks, was an Indian rest stop, so called because it was 10 days travel, or “10 sleeps,” from Fort Laramie (southeast), Yellowstone Park (west-northwest), and the Indian Agency at Stillwater, Montana (northwest). The scenic Ten Sleep Canyon and Powder River Pass (9,666 feet [2,946 metre]) are immediately to the east. Near the entrance to the canyon is Nature Conservancy Ten Sleep Preserve (formerly the Girl Scouts National Center West), which harbours populations of mammals and more than 100 bird species. A conservation buffalo herd was begun at a nearby ranch in 1974. The village is a supply point for a livestock and tourist region. The annual Ten Sleep Rodeo is a popular visitor attraction. Inc. 1933. Pop. (1990) 311; (2000) 304.
