Remarks:
Ang Lee and Judy Becker passed through this quintessential western town of Ten Sleep (sometimes “Tensleep”) during their survey of Wyoming locations in the spring of 2004. Its major attraction is its location near the head of the glorious Ten Sleep Canyon.

Ten Sleep’s unusual name reflects the historical travel time, and hence the distance, to ancestral Sioux camps near Fort Laramie, Yellowstone Park, and southern Montana. The area has an intriguing modern history, including a period of extreme lawlessness during which powerful cattle interests took on the smaller-scale sheep ranchers in the famous range wars.
