As you travel through this area, you’ll enjoy the Bearlodge Mountains, the scenic red hills, sandstone formations and the cedar, oak and ponderosa pine tree clusters.
The area is rich in the heritage of “Western Tradition”. Created in 1875, the county was named for General George Crook, a famous American Indian fighter. You can still see the remnants of the trail through the Bearlodge Mountains between Hulett and Aladdin.
Only nine miles southwest of Hulett is Devils Tower. The area around Hulett is well known as a sportsman’s paradise for whitetail and mule deer, wild turkey and antelope. In Hulett, locals put on one of the best known regional rodeos the second weekend in June. These are friendly folks, who, when asked, will point out the new golf courses, Custer’s Trail, where to fish at nearby Cook Lake or where the scenic routes are located. |
