Itineraries with breathing room

Use these routes as a framework, then leave enough space for weather, wildlife and the stop you did not know you needed.

Choose your pace

Start with the time you actually have.

Each route focuses on a few places that work naturally together.

An early park arrival, the Tower Trail and time for the prairie dog town.

The monument, Hulett, Sundance and one good scenic route.

Follow a one-day Devils Tower itinerary with an early trail, Hulett lunch and a scenic Northeast Wyoming afternoon.

Choose stops and timing for a Rapid City to Devils Tower day trip through the Northern Black Hills.

Plan a Deadwood to Devils Tower day trip with route choices through Spearfish, Sundance, Beulah or Hulett.

Plan the Spearfish to Devils Tower route through Sundance or Belle Fourche, Hulett and Aladdin.

Plan a Devils Tower to Mount Rushmore road trip without reducing the Black Hills to a rushed drive.

Follow a three-day Northeast Wyoming itinerary through Devils Tower, Sundance, Hulett, Moorcroft, Keyhole and the Bearlodge Mountains.

Build a Devils Tower and Black Hills road trip through Hulett, Spearfish, Deadwood and Mount Rushmore at a realistic pace.

Choose the Moorcroft or Sundance approach from I-90 to Devils Tower and build the route around your travel direction.

Before you commit

A route that feels easy in July may need a different plan in November. Confirm park alerts, weather, lodging and seasonal business hours.
