The Silver Cliff: A Western Mining Town Destination Experience
Your High Plains Crossroad Destination into the Past—and Beyond
“Where the American Dream and the Wild West Converge.”
-
The Nexus of History: Lusk was born from the 1879 Silver Cliff mining tent city and established along the vital Cheyenne-Deadwood Stage route, making the hotel a central hub for the “Crossroads of Western Legacy.”
-
Strategic Proximity: The location offers a unique “base camp” advantage, sitting just 110 miles from Devils Tower and 125 miles from Mount Rushmore—positioning it on a primary route for millions of regional travelers.
-
A Proven Landmark: Built in 1918, the Silver Cliff Hotel is an emblematic part of Wyoming’s settling story and was originally famous for its “radium baths.”
