Inyan Kara Mountain, Sacred mountain in Crook County, US.

Inyan Kara Mountain rises 6,368 feet above sea level in the Bear Lodge Mountains section of Wyoming's Black Hills region.

General George Armstrong Custer and his expedition team climbed to the summit of Inyan Kara Mountain on July 23, 1874.

The Lakota people named this mountain Íŋyaŋ Káǧa, meaning Rock Gatherer, and consider it a sacred location for mothers during childbirth.

The mountain covers 480 acres of land and requires proper hiking equipment to reach the summit, with the nearest supplies available in Sundance.

The mountain produced unexplained rumbling sounds on quiet days until 1833, potentially caused by underground burning coal seams.

Location: Crook County
