Ride the Black Hills
13 legendary routes from Sturgis. Tunnels, twisties, waterfalls, buffalo, and the greatest engineering road ever built for a motorcycle.
Needles Highway
Granite spires, one-lane tunnels and hairpin switchbacks through Custer State Park's most jaw-dropping stretch of blacktop.
Iron Mountain Road
The engineering marvel — three tunnels perfectly framing Mount Rushmore, plus pigtail bridges that loop over themselves.
Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway
Sweeping curves along a limestone canyon with waterfalls at every pull-off — smooth pavement, cool air, unreal scenery.
Badlands Loop
I-90 east to Wall Drug, then SD-240 through the alien-planet spires of Badlands National Park. A must-do day ride.
Devils Tower Run
The pilgrimage west into Wyoming to the 867-ft volcanic monolith made famous by Close Encounters. Long straights and big skies.
Vanocker Canyon to Nemo
A local's favorite — twisty, tree-lined pavement south of Sturgis dumping you at the Nemo Guest Ranch for a cold one.
Custer State Park Wildlife Loop
Roll through open prairie among bison herds, wild burros and pronghorn. Slow speed, huge payoff.
Rushmore & Crazy Horse Loop
The greatest hits — Iron Mountain Road, Mount Rushmore, Needles Highway and Crazy Horse Memorial in one big day.
Peter Norbeck Scenic Byway
The signature Black Hills loop — Iron Mountain Road, Needles Highway, Custer State Park and Mount Rushmore stitched together on one designated National Scenic Byway.
Boulder Canyon to Deadwood
The short, sweeping US-14A run out of Sturgis straight into Deadwood's saloons and casinos. The classic after-dinner Rally ride.
Nemo Road & Norris Peak Loop
The locals' escape from Rally traffic — Nemo Road south into Rapid City, then Norris Peak Road back through pine forest with almost nobody on it.
Rochford & Mystic Backroad Loop
Hill City out to Rochford's Moonshine Gulch Saloon and the ghost town of Mystic on some of the most remote paved miles in the Hills.
Wind Cave & Hot Springs Southern Loop
Skip the Rally crowds and ride the southern Hills — Wind Cave National Park, the historic warm-water town of Hot Springs, and the Mammoth Site.
