Wóó'teenótoyóó'

Wóó’teenótoyóó’, “Black Mountain” in Arapaho, is Elk Mountain in southern Wyoming. Rising above the Medicine Bow River country, the mountain stands apart from the surrounding high plains and ridges. Its wooded slopes and exposed summit overlook a landscape crossed by Indigenous peoples traveling between mountain valleys and the plains. Snow from the high country feeds streams that join the North Platte River system.
