Mickelson Trail

The Mickelson Trail


The George S. Mickelson Trail, in the heart of the beautiful Black Hills, with its 
gentle slopes and easy access allow people of all ages and abilities to enjoy the 
beauty of the Black Hills.

Imagine a path where Wild Bill Hickock and Calamity Jane still once roamed; where bicyclists, hikers and horseback riders can explore spruce and ponderosa pine forests; and the very young, the very old and people of all abilities can enjoy.
