Why Weston County

On the western slopes of the Black Hills, Wyoming’s Weston County is filled with wildlife and wide open spaces, and it’s less than an hour’s drive from Mount Rushmore National Memorial. And since Weston County is the most uncrowded part of the Black Hills, you’ll be exploring, relaxing, and unwinding in natural peacefulness.
