The 109-mile long Mickelson Trail follows the historic Deadwood to Edgemont Burlington Northern rail line. South Dakota's first rails to trails project. Bike through 14 trail heads, 100 railroad bridges, four tunnels, gentle slopes and easy access. Plus, a trip to the Hills is not complete without a visit to Mount Rushmore National Memorial. So if you are riding the trail or visiting the presidents you will see the stuff where legends were made while you're staying at the at the Rock Crest Lodge and Cabins.
