My buddy and I are doing the black hills in Mid June. We are going to base out of Hot Springs, and Have routes planned to Rushmore, Devils Tower, and the Bad Lands. Looking for other riders favorite rides. We deffinitley plany on hitting the biggies, Deadwood, Sturgis, etc. And are looking for roads that other riders love.
Don't forget Custer State Park, Needles Highway, and the Crazy Horse Monument. Oh yeah, and for pure schmalz, when you visit the Badlands, make sure you stop at Wall Drug.
dont forget iron mountain rd and the pigtail bridges, thats my favorite road, ride it every morning when i'm there in august before it gets busy...usually do the loop thru custer and back to the needles hwy then out to hill city for breakfast
agree with all of the above. Make sure to stop at nemo guest ranch. super nice people and one of the coolest bars ever. IMHO crazy horse is a much better stop then Mt. Rushmore. (the ride up is great but the view from the parking lot is as good as the one in the visitor center and way cheaper. also Von aokker canyon is great.
