Written Directions
From Custer, SD, head west on US Highway 16 to Newcastle, WY. Pick up Rt 85 heading north out of Newcastle and continue until you cross back into SD and reach the town of Cheyenne Crossing, SD. Here is where you want to turn left on Rt 14A North which is the Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway. It is clearly marked and hard to miss this turn. Follow through to Spearfish, SD then turn left, or west, on Main Street which turns into US Highway 85 North again as you leave the town and cross over I-90. Follow US Highway 85 to Rt 34 west which turns into Rt 24 once you cross into WY (without making any turns). When you reach Hulett, WY, continue with Rt 24 heading south. Travel another 10 miles to Devils Tower. After Devils Tower, go south on Rt 24 to US Highway 14 heading to the endpoint of Sundance, WY.Scenery
Heading west on Rt 16 from Custer, SD to Newcastle, WY is hill country with tall pines and rocky outcroppings. As you approach Spearfish, SD, you'll travel the Spearfish Canyon Road which is one sweeping curve after another with high bluffs covered in pines. Rt 24 from Belle Fourche, SD to Hulett, WY is quite flat and not very scenic, but the road has some hills and curves.Taken from Spearfish Canyon Byway (Aug 08)

Drive Enjoyment
Road quality is good with the exception of a 10 mile stretch or so on Rt 24 west of Aladdin, WY. The road was being oiled and pea gravel was being laid. This was being done in August of '08.Devil's Tower (Aug 08)
