US 14 and I-90 is the Spearfish Recreational Trail. BL 90/US Alt 14 moves away from I-90 just before the intersection with Sandstone Hills Drive. At Spearfish Canyon Highway, Alt US 14 leaves the overlap with BL 90 and turns south. A spur of the Spearfish Recreational Trail leave Alt.

In Cheyenne Crossing, the road turns left and begins the first of two overlaps with US 85. The two routes form a concurrency from there to Lead, then are separated where it continues north also overlapping U.S. Truck Route 85, only to turn east as the routes run through Center City and Backtail. The route meets US 85 again in Deadwood. The routes run together through Deadwood before splitting again, and Alt. US 14 turns east along Boulder Canyon Highway.
