This is a road-trip region. The best days combine one major stop with a few unhurried discoveries along the way.
Walk beneath Devils Tower
Circle the base on Tower Trail, take the quieter Red Beds Trail for a longer loop, stop at the prairie dog town and make time for changing views along the park road.
Drive the Belle Fourche River country
Wyoming highways 24 and 111 connect Devils Tower, Hulett and Aladdin through rolling ranchland and the outer Black Hills. This is not just a route between points—the drive is part of the trip.
Follow local history
Learn about the region at the Crook County Museum in Sundance, the Hulett Museum & Art Gallery and Moorcroft's West Texas Trail Museum. The Vore Buffalo Jump near Beulah interprets a significant Plains Indian archaeological site.
Make room for the outdoors
The Bearlodge Mountains offer forest roads, hiking, mountain biking, hunting and quiet picnic country. Conditions and access vary by season; carry a current map and check land-management guidance before heading onto back roads.
