Things to Do at Sturgis!

Any rider making the annual pilgrimage to Sturgis knows there is no shortage of things to do! Whether you’re headed to The Black Hills just for Sturgis, or taking a relaxing ride through South Dakota, plan a day or two to take in the sights of the gorgeous highways and historic towns. Black Hills is full of state parks, national monuments and historic landmarks. There is something for everyone.

The favorite ride of the locals is the 70-mile loop known as the Norbeck Scenic Byway. This ride will send you through the beautiful countryside, including Custer State Park and the Mount Rushmore National Memorial. As you travel through the mining cities of Custer, Hill City, and Keystone, take advantage of the great selection of unique shops, dining, and attractions.
