The Mickelson Trail, South Dakota's first rails-to-trails conversion, offers a unique pathway through history and nature.️ Soak in the rich heritage of the area as you ride along the same route that once carried trains through these breathtaking hills.
But that's not all! After your scenic ride, the fun continues with live music, craft beer, and a delicious lunch that'll satisfy your post-ride appetite at Mt. Rushmore Brewing Company.
Hurry, though – registration is limited to just 50 riders! Secure your spot now and make memories that will last a lifetime.
