I just finest riding this trail in both directions and by far this is the best trail I have ever completed. No pictures, videos or words can describe it all, you just have to experience it. At the beginning, middle and end of it, you will just say, WOW!

Greetings, I've been a big fan of the web sites hosted by this group. I've used them extensively to plan trips on the Katy Trail and the GAP trail. I've got a number of questions about this trail. First is the connector trail to Custer State park just the highway shoulder or a separate trail? Is Custer Park pretty safe for slow road cyclist? ( We are on recumbent trikes).Has any body on this forum ever ridden the Katy or GAP and if so how would you compare the road surface.. |I look forward to learning more about this trail

Greetings...To the administrators of Bike Mickelson.com, for your information, your Contact Us link isn't working. This is an inquiry as to what is the procedure for a local Hill City business which is along the Mickelson Trail (across East Main from the 1880 Train) to be listed on your site? We get many biking and hiking visitors who stop in for a refreshing drink from our espresso bar, and we would like users of the trail to be able to easily find us for reasonably-priced lodging as well. Thank you for your help, in advance. Best wishes, Sam and Linda Brown

Hi Sam & Linda, I would love to list your business, and I apologize for the problem with the Contact Us page. It is now fixed. If you go to the
Contact Us page now, you will see my email address and a list of all the details we need to get you listed.
Thank you for getting in touch and I look forward to hearing from you with all the details!

Psychlist on 03/11/2017 07:13 AM
Maybe a mile north of the "Mountain" trailhead, the trail crosses Avenue of The Chiefs. Follow this road for a mile or two, and you're there.

Oh yeah. Elevations along the trail range from 3400 feet to over 6000. If you are not used to physical activity in a high-altitude environment, be prepared for breathing extra hard.
