Hill City, SD to Sundance, WY

Question

I'd appreciate any inputs regarding routing to Sundance, WY from Hill City via US-16 W
to US-85 North (New Castle, WY) then taking WY-585 in Four Corners, WY to Sundance. I am particularly interested in U.S.-16 from Custer SD to New Castle. Looks like some climbs and tight turns in a couple places from looking at Bing maps. I have a 2004 Forest River (Ford v-10) pulling a toad. Thanks.

The only significant curves on US16 are where it goes through the Jewel Cave Nat Mon.  There it was narrow and curvy, but no significant grades. But I read there has been construction (this summer or past) to improve that stretch.  In any case that portion is short.

Drove it this summer. Not bad. A bit windy and a couple short and moderate grades near jewel caves and a bit after. You will be fine. Go slow and enjoy. It's gorgeous there!  Have fun. Matt
