Wyoming Highway 24 (WYO 24, Bear Lodge Highway) is a State highway in Wyoming. Spanning 46.72 miles (75.19 km) from US 14 to the Wyoming-South Dakota state line as SD 34, it passes by Devils Tower National Monument.
Route description [edit]
Wyoming Highway 24 northbound toward Devil's Tower
WYO 24 is spawned from US 14 in Devils Tower Junction. From there, it travels in a north–south direction, although the route is signed east–west. It is mainly a two-lane highway from US 14 to near Devils Tower National Monument. When it gets to Devils Tower, it spawns a short spur, Wyoming Highway 110. After passing by WYO 110, it then curves northeast-southwest. The road reaches Hulett, where it intersects Wyoming Highway 112. In Hulett, WYO 24 is dubbed Main Street and A Street. Moving on, WYO 24 curves to the signed east–west orientation, but curves northwest-southeast. WYO 24 passes by some gulches, most notably Reservoir Gulch and Lucky Gulch. WYO 24 then turns south, then generally follows the east–west orientation. It then intersects Wyoming Highway 111 a short time later. There are no further major junctions and towns on the route, as WYO 24 crosses the state line and becomes South Dakota Highway 34.
