A motorcycle ride through the Black Hills and Badlands of South Dakota is a full-body experience. There's a difference between being outside and merely looking through a window.
From north to south and east to west, the entire Black Hills and Badlands region is dotted with epic rides. Though the curves and rugged landscape often demand complete concentration, the ride itself provides relaxation and a deeply rooted sense of independence for all who dare to escape the mundane.
In a varied landscape offering amazing scenery, it’s no wonder hundreds of thousands of riders make the annual pilgrimage to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and continue to tour throughout the season. During any other month of the year, the small town of Sturgis is home to just under 6,900 souls. But when the roar of the rally rolls around, the city swells to 500,000 or more bikers and enthusiasts.
Whether you’re coming for the rally or during any other time of the year, an exhilarating ride through the Black Hills and Badlands is an unforgettable way to sample a slice of the Old West and experience some of the most beautiful lands in the country.
