Sturgis riders - route needed - Before the Rally
#12
Hot days, cool nights in July and August. Watch out for sudden thunderstorms that pop up from behind the mountains. Ask any Sturgis rider about the '02 hail storm, or the mudslide in Deadwood that wiped out a whole parking lot of bikes !
Crazy Horse Mountain is another one to see. You can now see it from the highway south of it, but it's worth (imo) to pay the fee and go in and see the museum.
The white spots you see in this picture are hail stones.

[QUOTE=Iron Mountain Road, where you will go around corkscrew wooden bridges, and see Mt Rushmore framed in the exit of a tunnel. If you don't see it, turn around and ride it the other way!
