Headed to Sturgis this year for the first time. \\; What are some of the 'must see' areas or places outside of Sturgis? \\; And not the drunk bikers at the campgrounds. \\; If you have seen one drunk biker fall down, you have seen them all. \\; \\

We plan on riding the Badlands, seeing Mt. Rushmore, probably even making it over to Deadwood to do some gambling? \\; \\; Custer Park? Spearfish Canyon looks interesting? \\; \\; Anything specific in the Badlands to see or is it all breathtaking? \\; Also hitting Wall Drugs on the way.
