"Ride through the Black Hills on exquisite unpaved roads where every gravel mile promises awe-inspiring vistas." - https://trektravel.com

Trek Travel Black Hills Gravel Bike Tour Video:
"Join us for an epic adventure through the heart of the Black Hills in South Dakota! From the enchanting Spearfish Canyon to the historic charm of Deadwood, you’ll experience wondrous and rustic beauty in every direction. Pedal along a network of gravel roads that unveil the grandeur of the Hills as they weave through the forest, connecting small towns while the gentle music of nearby creeks remains your constant companion."

"Witness nature's artistry as you transition to the Southern Hills and stay at Sylvan Lake Lodge, surrounded by towering granite spires that reach for the sky. Revel in the untamed allure of Custer State Park's wildlife loop and delight in a farewell dinner at the renowned Skogen Kitchen. Feel the pulse of history as you visit Mt Rushmore, a final stop before you depart. This is more than just a ride – the magic of the Black Hills will resonate with you long after you’re gone."

Day 2:
Experience Spearfish Canyon & the wild western town of Deadwood
"Today’s ride begins with a paved climb up Spearfish Canyon scenic byway, while the avid route takes a long, gradual gravel climb into Black Hills National Forest."

"Be sure to keep an eye out for osprey overhead and pause for photos along the way, perhaps stopping at the overlook for Roughlock or Spearfish Falls. As you reach Savoy, the stunning ride transitions to a mix of pavement and gravel roads before the last few miles on the Mickelson rail trail deliver you into Deadwood."
