South Dakota - Day Five

The day started much warmer than the previous day. Was good for us since we decided this was our riding day. We headed over 16 and past Crazy Horse (this was something we were treated to several times a day during our stay). We did the Peter Norbeck Scenic Byway and the Custer State Park Wildlife loop.

I have been on a lot of great roads but I think the Needles Highway was the nicest road I have ever ridden. Was just spectacular. We had hardly encountered any other traffic on the road, no one passing us, no one blocking our way, nothing. Pete and I ended up eating lunch by a babbling brook.




In the evening we went back to Mt Rushmore to do the Presidential Trail hike and watch the night lighting of Mt. Rushmore.

Just a perfect day all around!

The pictures really tell the better story about the day! Here they are:
