You should stop through Sheridan, WY on your way too. It's the next major town after Gillette which is after Devil's Tower. Gillette is boring, nothing there just keep driving. The Big Horn mountains are pretty scenic, and the town of Sheridan is an old west cowboy town that still has that charm to it. Make sure you drive downtown, and if you have time take a walkabout.
If you're lucky, and you're there on a weekend, you can watch a polo game or two at the Flying H ranch. Polo is huge in Sheridan. World renown players and teams come from all over the globe to play. Argentina, New Zealand, England, etc. My old employer out there raises and trains polo ponies.
If you do have time in Sheridan, and your vehicle is in good shape, I would suggest a quick afternoon trip up Red Grade Road south of town. Its a windy dirt/gravel switchback that takes you up into the mountains and there's some great views up there. Don't need 4x4 unless its raining/snowing. My Honda Civic made it just fine.
