Planning on riding The Mick Sept, 2022. I've read that the scenery is much better between Deadwood and Custer than it is Custer to Edgemont.
Comments/thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

And there are several others to glean from.

I rode it Sept 2021. The scenery from Deadwood to Custer is greener, more mountainous, with more creeks and streams etc. Beautiful for sure. Custer to Edgemont has some of the least scenic areas (large flat fields of weeds etc), but also had some of the best scenery (canyons and spines). The whole thing is worth doing, but the northern half is more mountainous and green, and the southern half a bit more flat and dry.
