Fellow travelers, Will and Patty, told us about this off-road adventure, right up our alley of travel. This route is a must to anyone who is visiting Devil's Tower, and enjoys going off the beaten path, not minding creeping at speeds of 5 to 10mph down gravel road 838. Roads like this allow us to travel inside the trees and beautiful mountains...opening up more appreciation for the spender of great views. Warren Peak Lookout Tower is on the route and the views are breathtaking. The lookout tower provides views of the Black Hills National Forest, and 80% of all forest fires in the Black Hills are spotted at this location. Talk about a panoramic view!! Coming out on the other side of the 838 gravel road we headed east on paved hwy24 towards Aladdin, population:15. We stopped at Cindy B's for lunch, delightful, a suggestion from Will and Patty, suggested to them by a local. The burgers are delicious, and can be halfed considering they are 1/2 pounders!! And don't leave without trying the fried green beans!! We had great conversation with Cindy and her sister, and signed the guest book, that Cindy has had going since 2007, "Great food, Beautiful People". The conversation plus the wonderful food made for an unforgettable experience.
How cool is that! We're so glad you enjoyed the adventure! We're back home in Southern California now… but not for long. Heading to the Grand Canyon when the weather cools down.
