Black Hills and Badlands Gravel Ride

Our unique gravel tour is your gateway to the state’s premier national parks, historic monuments, and impressive rail-trails. This is where adventure meets the trail.

Embark on an unforgettable gravel adventure through two of America’s most legendary landscapes on the South Dakota Black Hills & Badlands Tour. This 5-day journey begins by immersing you in the otherworldly terrain of Badlands National Park, where you’ll pedal through a stunning moonscape of dramatic, multi-hued spires and pinnacles.

From the stark beauty of the Badlands, you’ll transition to the lush, pine-scented forests of the Black Hills. Here, you will explore the iconic George S. Mickelson Trail and the scenic gravel roads of Custer State Park, home to vast, free-roaming bison herds. This route is steeped in history and grandeur, taking you past the monumental sculptures of Mount Rushmore and the Crazy Horse Memorial, with a stop in the historic Old West town of Deadwood.

With full support and long and shorter options each day, the riding is adventurous with some challenging climbs. As a fully supported Climate Ride event, you’ll be powered by a sense of community and purpose, complete with a shared goal that your proceeds benefit vital environmental causes. Join us for a ride that combines epic scenery, rich history, and adventure advocacy into one incredible gravel tour.
