“Ride through the Black Hills on exquisite unpaved roads where every gravel mile promises awe-inspiring vistas.” – Trek Travel
Trek Travel Black Hills Gravel Bike Tour
“Join us for an epic adventure through the heart of the Black Hills in South Dakota! From the enchanting Spearfish Canyon to the historic charm of Deadwood, you’ll experience wondrous and rustic beauty in every direction. Pedal along a network of gravel roads that unveil the grandeur of the Hills as they weave through the forest, connecting small towns while the gentle music of nearby creeks remains your constant companion.”

Day Four
Pedal Needles Highway & the Gravel Roads of Custer State Park. “You’ll begin with a short descent to Sylvan Lake. One look at the crystal blue water surrounded by rounded granite rock formations reveals why it’s known as the “Crown Jewel” of Custer State Park. From here, you’ll climb through striking granite spires on Needles Highway and thread through the Needles Eye tunnel before turning onto gravel and making your way to Custer State Park. You’ll pedal the gravel roads of the famous Wildlife Loop, where it is common to encounter some of the 1,500 bison who call the park home. You may also see wildlife such as pronghorn antelopes, burros, prairie dogs, and bighorn sheep.”
“Enjoy the scenery as you ride through beautiful open grasslands and pine speckled hills. Avid riders will pedal all the way to Custer, while the other options end in the park and shuttle to Custer, where you’ll have time to explore and enjoy lunch at a cafe of your choosing.”

Just did this ride with Trek yesterday. It’s an amazing day on the bike and the whole tour is hands down the best gravel riding I have done anywhere.
Nice, glad to hear it went well! The guides are a top notch crew.
