Weston County Courthouse A relaxing and beautiful drive northward along the 78-mile Wyoming Black Hills Scenic Byway begins in Newcastle and sprawls on to Sundance via Hwy 85/585, then on to the Nation’s oldest National Monument – Devils Tower. Just 9 miles past Devils Tower you’ll come across an Old West oasis — Hulett — with eateries, a museum and lodging.
