George S. Mickelson Trail
Kick start one of the best day trips in the Black Hills!
From the Mickelson trailhead (we typically start north of Hill City), we spend some time preparing each rider on their bike and outlining the day’s ride.
Our ride is 18mi of the Mickelson Trail, which traverses through the stunning Black Hills countryside.
The 18mi ride is all very slightly downhill and very accessible for all fitness levels. We ride the most scenic part of the Mickelson; aspen groves and birch frame the trail with meandering streams flowing along the way.
Our guide will leapfrog riders along the trail, meeting you at the end of the ride.
(There may be options for longer rides which can be discussed at booking).
