A positive attitude is the most important thing that you can being on this trip. Even for many experienced riders, three days of challenges can get tiring. We will have a guide in the front, as well as a sweeper in the back, so you can ride at your own pace. That said, riding with a group provides a great opportunity to stretch your comfort zone and take on some new challenges if you feel ready. Riding these trails for three days straight is hard, but starting to condition strength and cardio now can help you make the most of your visit.

Our adventures are all based out of the Hisega Adventure Lodge, a 111 year old lodge in the easternmost section of the Black Hills National Forest, twenty minutes from Rapid City Center. Here you can enjoy the sights and sounds of nature — the wind blowing through the ponderosa pines and the relaxing babble of Rapid Creek as it flows along the property. Our group rides all take place in the beautiful Black Hills National Forest, on designated trails. We provide transportation to and from all trailheads during your stay.
