I just did that route in reverse a month ago. Left Custer State Park (CSP) and headed to Cheyenne. Actually I used highway 79 to 18 and went thru Hot Springs. Stayed on 18 to 85 and made my way to I-25 to Cheyenne. Hwy 79 is a divided 4 lane road and is much better than 385 but you will be on the east side of CSP and have to go thru the park on 36/16A to get to the town of Custer and onto 385 to Hill City and the Rafter J. You may be better staying on 385.
