Experience the Black Hills of South Dakota during an optimal time of year. The George S. Mickelson Trail (GMT) is over 100 miles of dedicated rail trails on crushed stone over old railroad bridges, through rock tunnels into the heart of the Black Hills in picturesque western South Dakota. You will be accommodated in Custer, SD for the week and the tour will ride route variants over five days! You will be awestruck by the wide-ranging local natural beauty and abundant wildlife in native surroundings in one of the least populated parts of the USA.

Rock Crest Lodge & Cabins for the duration.  Each day there will be long, medium, and short ride variants optioned. As always, BPP will have arrangements in place to shuttle you and your bicycle every day, ride a distance that suits you, you are here to be pampered. 

Remember, when deciding which bike to bring or rent, this entire tour will be on crushed stone with varying terrain and elevation.
