Agree on Spearfish canyon. Vanocker canyon ride is also a nice one. If you get to the east side of Rapid City, Badlands N.P. is pretty sweet. Along with Custer S.P. Crazy Horse and Mt Rushmore.......
There are so many cool places and things to see out there.
My group is leaving Mankato, MN 8/5 early morning.

Have a fun safe journey!

Forgot to mention No panties Wednesday in Hulett,WY. I went the first time 2 years ago. Kinda like Sturgis. You can have a beer walking around. It's a fun time.

Rain and Hail the size of Baseballs come from Nowhere - Rain Gear is a must.
Make sure you have a decent camera with battery backups and SD Cards.

Hail Broke through Trailer glass and put holes in the plastic picnic table.
