Sturgis / Mt Rushmore / Iron Mt Road Riders - need directions

Leaving on Sat for a two week ride from CA to Sturgis - looking for good directions to this location..

Iron Mountain Road, where you will go around corkscrew wooden bridges, and see Mt Rushmore framed in the exit of a tunnel

Go to www.blackhillshd.com. They have some rally ride maps on their website. I didn't see Iron Mountain Rd but it does have Custers state park. If you are at Custers state park your not far from Iron Mountain Rd and another good ride is The Needles Hwy. At the Harley shop in Sturgis and Rapid City you should be able to get a really good riders map they have for the rally that has every ride on it.

Last year we stayed at the Holidy Inn in Hill City, they had some maps on the check -in counter. I would think that all the hotels would have some simple maps for you to use.

Iron Mountain Road is 16A as you ride south out of Keystone. It goes through Custer State Park, and is a great ride. Watch out for wildlife in the late afternoon. I believe you have to go North to see Rushmore through the tunnel. Great ride either way.
