I've been going to Sturgis for over 20 years now and I get surprised every year with something new.

The white spots you see in this picture are hail stones.
oh yes the mud slid left that morning .id stay outof nebraska(helmet state).turn this route around.i`drive from hot springs into wy.take this road a s far south as needed.ride 385 from botttom to top you wanna ride iron mountain from south to north.needles hwy is a must.last few years i thought they had rough lock falls fenced off so you cant walk in the water or to thecave behind the falls.thats in spearfish canyon.i guess theres the water above the falls.dare you to sit in it.pactola resivor is pretty kick a$$.

Beautiful ride,not much interstate,lots of must sees,about 300 mi more than the direct route but well worth it.
14athrough through the big horns is a good route.

[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!
