Striking Gold: A Fall Trip to South Dakota's Black Hills

A thunderous bison roundup, trails, scenic drives and small towns all reflect the drama of fall when autumn color arrives in South Dakota's Black Hills.

Mickelson Trail

The 109-mile Mickelson Trail runs the length of the Hills, putting epic views in reach for casual bikers. The crushed-stone path follows old railbeds; trestle bridges, rock tunnels and gentle grades are generously spread between 15 trailheads, so that even as you're savoring one of the prettiest rides of your life, you're never far from lunch and a rest in towns like Custer, Hill City, Lead and Deadwood.
