In Sundance, the business loop follows U.S. 14 via Cleveland Street. The town of Sundance had a population 1,161 as of the 2000 Census and sits at an elevation of 4,750 feet above sea level. Towering above the town to the south is Sundance Mountain, which some say looks like a buffalo. Sundance is the seat of Crook County. Motorist services are available in Sundance, including gas, food, lodging, and camping. Sundance is the site for a particularly famous arrest and trial during the Wild West Days. The Sundance Kid (Harry Alonzo Longabaugh) was arrested for stealing a horse in 1887; Longebaugh gained his nickname as the Sundance Kid while in jail for 18 months. He was popularized in the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, in which he was played by actor Robert Redford. A museum about the history of Crook County, including the Sundance Kid's visit, is located in the basement of the Crook County Courthouse in downtown Sundance off Business Loop I-90.

Business Loop I-90 and U.S. 14/West Street East
Immediately after departing the freeway, Business Loop I-90 and U.S. 14 approach their junction with Wyoming 116. This diagonal state highway leads southwest toward Upton, then proceeds to Wyoming 450 west of Clareton and east of Wright. Photo taken 07/05/08.
A second sign, intended for motorists traveling northeast on Wyoming 116, is also visible from Business Loop I-90. At the north end of Wyoming 116, traffic may turn left for the connection to Interstate 90 or right for the business route into Sundance. Photo taken 07/05/08.
The first eastbound reassurance shield for Business Loop I-90 and U.S. 14 is posted after the Wyoming 116 intersection. For now, the business route stays south of Interstate 90, but it will soon pass under the freeway and continue on the north side of the freeway through Sundance. Photo taken 07/05/08.

After leaving the downtown area of Sundance, eastbound Business Loop I-90 and U.S. 14 approach and meet Wyoming 585/Sixth Street. At the time this picture was taken, Cleveland Street was being rebuilt. As a result, the trailblazer signs were temporarily posted on construction horses. From here, Wyoming 585 travels south to join U.S. 85 near Newcastle. The Interstate 90 shield probably should be a business loop shield, but consistent with WyoDOT practice, the business route shield is replaced with an Interstate 90 shield after passing through the central business district.
