Wyoming Highway 24 (WYO 22, Bear Lodge Highway) is a State highway in Wyoming. Spanning 46.72 miles from US 14 to the Wyoming-South Dakota state line as SD 34, it passes by Devils Tower National Monument.
Route Description
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.
History
WYO 24 was not in the original State Highway grid until 1961. The predecessor on this route was Wyoming Highway 514.
