Ride Description:

Great scenic ride west of Rapid City.

Exit Rapid City west on Route 44. Lots of twisty roads and elevation changes along this route. This road travels through the Black Hills national forest with many streams and lakes in the area. Lots of bikes during the Sturgis ralley. Rimrock Tavern is a popular biker destination.

Take hwy 385 south past Pactola Reservoir and Sheridan Lake. Take route 16 east back to Rapid City. The south fork at 16a will take you to Mt Rushmore in just a few miles and into Custer State Park for those looking to extend the ride.

Roads along this route are all well maintained during the warmer seasons. Watch for animals.
