Highlights from the Mickelson Trail, SD

When you come to the Black Hills be sure to bring your bicycle. No matter your skill level you won't find a better ride. The Mickelson Trail runs nearly the entirity of the Hills from North to South and because it is a retired Burlington Northern rail route it is fairly easy on the legs. It takes you through some of the most beautiful parts of the Black Hills and at a fair pace. All together from Edgemont to Deadwood it is 109 miles.  There are towns and rests evenly spaced throughout, and the scenery is awesome.
