These areas are nice but if you got time....Beartooth, Colorado and Utah is where you really want to be. Have a great trip where ever you go.... Life is Great.....We all Ride!!!!

Never a lot of traffic, and you're not likely to see other bikers. (Assuming you're coming from the east--most people do) Ride into the Badlands/Black Hills on the less-beaten path. From Chamberlain on I-90, head south to Winner, then pick up US 18, go through Mission, take a side trip to Wounded Knee before hitting Pine Ridge and Oglala, then on to Hot Springs and Wind Cave, Custer, etc. Not many people explore the southern Black Hills, even during the Sturgis frenzy and you'll see more badlands then are in the Badlands NP. If you are continuing west, break into WY from Custer on 16. That is some wide open country. Or head up into Montana from Spearfish and Belle Fourche. (in reply to schoney) Post #: 4

Hwy 44 and 18 to Interior for the first day. First time out there and I perfer two lane rather than interstate. I can always run  I-90 back on the return trip. Have a good ride.  (in reply to faber) Post #: 5

There aren''t that many paved roads out there. If you find the time do a circle tour on 16 W from Rushmore to New Castle, Wy and then head North on 16 to Moorcroft, switch over to 14 N and 24 N to go to Devils Tower and then continue on to Hulett, WY, at Hulett continue on 24E to Alt 14 N to Belle Fourche. \\; (in reply to byoung57) Post #: 6
