Know before you go
Visitor Center Congestion
Parking near the tower base is limited and often fills by mid-morning during summer. Consider arriving before 9 AM or after 4 PM to secure a spot without long wait times.
Variable Connectivity
Cellular service is unreliable within the monument and along Highway 24. Download offline maps and save reservation confirmations before leaving Hulett or Sundance.
Gateway Service Points
The monument has no fuel stations within its boundaries. Ensure your tank is sufficient for the return trip to Moorcroft or Hulett before entering.
Peak Season Crowds
Expect high traffic during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in August and holiday weekends. Weekdays in late May or September offer a quieter experience with milder weather.
Road Conditions
Winter snow and spring mud can impact access to the Joyner Ridge area. Check Wyoming Department of Transportation reports for Highway 24 and Highway 14 status.
