Same as Grassroots Gatherings but with a bit more info.
Stay away during Sturgis Bike week, usually the first week in August, unless of course you are on a Harley.
1. Devils Tower, Wyoming, its less than an hour from Sturgis, but well worth the trip, amazing scenery all the way down to the base of the tower and then you can go into the visitors center...I didn't go in but it was recommended to me by several people.
2. Mount Rushmore...self explanatory, I went in and walked the presidents trail, lots of great scenery and an awesome ride up to the top.
3. Crazy Horse, It will probably never be finished but once again, I didnt go into the visitors center but it was recommended by many.
4. Sturgis/Deadwood/Lead area, these cities are only 20 minutues apart and the rides in between are nice and twisty.
5. Sturgis to Nemo. This is a canyon run and I didnt ride it but, once again we ran out of time, and this came highly recommended.
6. Badlands, you drive by it on I-90 which also has lots of places to stop but I didnt stop, but the views from the highway are nice.
There are lots of other places to go and even more places to stay. If you enjoy just driving around and getting lost like I did on my Harley up there this would make a perfect trip.
