I am coming to the area shortly, and I am wanting to get the best of the best of the trail. looking at the many pictures, I am interested in the tunnels and the bridges along the old railbed. Where is that located? Ive exhausted my google skills to find it. Hopefully someone can tell me the best section for that type of scenery. Our (my) skills and stamina wont allow me to do the entire trail to find it on my own.
thank you so much

All 4 tunnels are located north of Hill City

Hill City Milepost #60.
Tunnel A MP #72
Tunnel B MP #73
Tunnel C MP #76
Tunnel D MP #85 (Just north of Rochford.)

This map may help you with elevations.

Hill City north to Deadwood (IMO) is the most scenic and definitely the most wooded. South of Hill City it's still scenic, but mostly flat, open, and can be very windy on some days. You'll find bridges all along the trail. Enjoy.
