Riding the George S. Mickelson Trail to Crazy Horse Viewpoint


We road the George S. Mickelson Trail from north from downtown Custer, SD. Had no clue about the trail until we meta buch of riders who said, "Yeah it is kind of up here, but once you get the the Crazy Horse Monument viewpoint it goes over and it is all downhill to the next town. Who knew we picked one of teh best parts of this hall of Fame Rail Trail.  We climbed about 100 feet over 5 miles (so not real steep, but workin' it) and there on te right was Crazy Horse. We road on a cloudy day with dak black skies behind the monument but a bunch of sun on the face of the monument. A stunning view of what is finished and easy to see how great it will be when finished.

Of, course the ride back down was a blast, narry a pedal stroke needed.
