The George S. Mickelson Trail offers a unique mountain biking journey through the Black Hills, blending natural beauty with historical remnants. You'll traverse diverse landscapes, from dense pine forests to expansive meadows, all on a crushed gravel surface that can sometimes be loose. The route is dotted with over 100 converted railroad bridges and four rock tunnels, including the notable "keyhole tunnel" near Mystic, making for a varied and engaging ride.
This difficult 43.9-mile (70.6 km) trail, with its 2875 feet (876 metres) of elevation gain, is best tackled by experienced riders, especially given the 6 hours and 23 minutes estimated duration. You'll need a trail pass if you're 12 or older, which can be purchased at any of the 15 accessible trailheads. Be aware that cell service can be spotty in some areas, so download your maps beforehand.
What truly sets the George S. Mickelson Trail apart is its rail-to-trail conversion, preserving a piece of the region's gold rush history. It offers access to major attractions like Custer State Park and the Crazy Horse Memorial, and you might even spot deer, elk, or wild turkeys along the way. The trail's gentle grades make it generally accessible, but be prepared for a strenuous 1,700-foot climb between Deadwood and Dumont.
