John Mitchler's directions were great! From Highway 2, 33 miles east of Alliance, head north on Highway 27.
At roughly 16.5 miles, the road climbs just after a ranch on the left. Park at a pull out near the high area
on the road and head west cross-country. Go about a mile or so to the obvious high area (which won't
become obvious until you're closer. There are 2 possibilities close to each other. One is definitely higher by
about 10 feet. Nice views. There's reason they call these "Sand Hills".
Statistics: Distance of 3.4 miles in 1 hour 33 minutes with 320 feet of elevation gain.
