Sturgis for 1st time

Here's my question, besides the most popular sight's like Mt Rushmore, devil's tower, bad lands and etc. What are some other must see and dos? The places that are not publicized as much. Going to be there a week and want to take in as much as possible.

Thanks Allen

I just got up every morning at daylight, stopped by the Full Throttle for breakfast, and headed off in a different direction.

After I left Sturgis the last time, I went west over to Washington to see my daughter before coming back home. Honestly, crossing the mountains in Montana was the most beautiful and breathtaking part of the entire trip. Then again, I'm a flat lander and may be easily impressed.

The highway out to devil's Tower out of Belle Fourche (24) is a nice ride...Stop in Alladdin, Population 15.
Hwy. 385 between Deadwood and Keystone is nice.
Spearfish Canyon
Custer State park wildlife loop
Needles Highway

Connect Needles Highway to Iron Mountain road... It has the roller coaster pigtail roads, and some of the best views of Mt. Rushmore.

I have not been to Montana. But I bet the mountains there are as nice as the Wasatch, Adirondack High Peaks or the Rockys.

From some of the ski areas I know of there they must be.
