Hello all. I have finished my summer trip planning our trip from Austin, Texas to the Black Hills area of South Dakota.
We make the run from Austin to Colorado almost every year so my wife wants a couple of days in Estes Park, CO before we head up to the Black Hills.
The part of the trip I would like input on is from Estes Park to Black Hills (4th Leg of the trip). The plan at this is to take I25 North to Cheyenne and then take US 85 North to US 18. Then take US 18 east into South Dakota. Near Hot Springs, SD take SD 89 North to US 385. Then take US 385 North all the way to Hill City.
For the return trip to Texas (5th Leg) of the trip, I was planning on taking US 385 South from Hill City down to Hot Springs, SD, then to Chadron, Nebraska then continue on US 385 South to Alliance, Bridgeport, then to Sidney, NE. From Sidney, take 19/113 to Serling, Colorado. From Sterling take Colorado 63 to US 36 East to CO 59 South down to US 287 in Kit Carson. Then take US 287 into Lamar, CO.
Any thoughts on input on this?
Regards,
Chris
