September ‘24

Over the course of two weeks, we traveled the Black Hills South Dakota Backcountry Discovery Route (BDR-X). The route which is roughly 350 miles long wanders along mostly unpaved forest service roads within the Black Hills National Forest. Along the way, the route goes through Custer State Park, Wind Cave National Park, and Mount Rushmore National Memorial.

In total, we ended up driving 526 miles and adding on a 55 mile detour at the end that followed gravel roads leading us to Devils Tower National Monument. Below is a collection of images from the trip. Hope you enjoy!
