I have ridden the Katy Trail two years in a row and really enjoyed it but want to experience a new trail. I am heading north to the Black Hills in South Dakota over the Labor Day weekend and wanted to know if anyone had ridden the Mickelson Trail? Planning on riding the 109 mile trail from north to south over 2 days. Any advice or tips ahead of time would be greatly apprectiated. Thanks!!!

Don't have any tips or advice, but we plan to do the Mickelson Trail next year. I don't think it is as flat or smooth as the Katy, so we will prolly plan for 3 days North to South. Haven't figured out likely stopping/lodging spots yet. I do believe there are a couple of shuttle services operating though.

The trail surface is similar to the Katy, but there are long grades of several miles....not unbearable, but not like the Katy either. The landscape is very beautiful, especially Hill City and north with several tunnels to cool down in. The Alpine Inn is a good place to eat in Hill City....very affordable filet mignon.
