My Car Shuttle and Motel Recommendations
Legiope from Atlanta on 09/06/2024 09:42 AM:
We recently took two days to ride the Mickelson trail from Dumont to Edgemont. Thanks to a post I read from Eric McCollum, I reached out to Black Hills Discovery Tours about having someone drive our car from Dumont to Edgemont. Vince Tschida has taken over the shuttle business and now runs it as Black Hills Shuttle. He was very responsive, easy to work with, even sent us a photo of our car when he parked it in Edgemont. It was waiting for us when we came off the trail. It isn't cheap, but we factored it into the cost of the vacation and decided it was worth it!
The contact number for Black Hills Shuttle is 605-645-9521.
I also recommend Rocket Motel in Custer. It's close to the trail and the people running it are really nice. They keep a barrel of cloths and a hose out front for riders to clean off their dusty bikes. Rooms are small but super clean. Mount Rushmore Brewing is across the street for dinner, and the Purple Pie Place is a block away for dessert.
This was a great trip!
