Black Hills South Dakota Routes

[RapidSpyder]

I thought we should have a folder for routes for those going to the Black Hills area either for the Deadwood Three Wheeler Rally or on their own. Thanks in advance to all who contribute!

first of all here are official links:

I'm going to try and insert a folder we did for the Rally last year.

Good idea. A fantastic place to ride...and many, many roads to travel there.

Here it goes see if this works, hopefully as more are added it will help out in planning rides. I plan on adding routes that are paved "backroads" that people might not be familiar with that are not as heavily frequented by tourists. Also might list places to eat along the way, since this was a common question asked at last years D3WR.

Added a route "Needles" that takes you up Iron Mountain Rd then over to Needles Hwy. Good for Picture taking...

Added "Backway to Mt. Rushmore". Have Route starting @ Ft. Hayes south of Rapid City on Hwy 16. 99 cent all you eat pancakes & and stuff from "Dances with Wolves". Also "Bar at the end of the world"... maybe that needs to be in Wyoming... The name of the bar is Moonshine Gultch, in Rochford in case you want to look it up.

Another "Backway to Mt. Rushmore" map added. This is from Rapid City Regional Airport. Also a "Cycle Shopping" route running from Rapid City to Spearfish. From Spearfish there is the route that we took to Devils Tower using Old Hwy 14.

Added 2 more routes. "Badlands by Backroad" and "CanAm Hwy". I think I ran out of ideas, there are only so many paved less traveled roads to work with.
Sheridan Lake Road from Rapid City to Hwy 385 is a nice ride, and so is The Hill City to Deerfield Lake Rd. Passed Deerfield Lake the road turns to gravel so you have to turn around. There are a couple nice campgrounds near the lake. I hope these routes were useful to those who might be new to the Black Hills!
