About this tour
Trade busy roads for quiet trail scenery on a private bike ride through the Black Hills. This Rapid City private bike tour follows beautiful, less-traveled sections of the Mickelson Trail, where locals come to ride and the landscape rewards every turn of the pedals.
Set out with private transportation, a gravel bike, helmet, snacks, and an air-conditioned vehicle for the journey. Along the way, enjoy a taste of South Dakota produce and the balance of a satisfying ride with time to appreciate the scenery. You can also choose to stop at a brewery in the Hill City area; the outdoor Lost Cabin Beer Garden at the Mickelson Trail Burlington Trailhead is a local favorite. The trail fee and a souvenir water bottle are included, while lunch and gratuities are not.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 2 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Rapid City
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.2.
