We have documented the top climbs in South Dakota and cycled around Badlands National Park and Mount Rushmore. While South Dakota may not be considered a "top" US cycling destination, we were glad we had our bike with us when we visited this rugged state.
The top bike climbs in South Dakota can be viewed on this page via the map (zoom in to view climbs in particular areas), by Climb Cards, or by a detailed list of the climbs that can be arranged by difficulty, distance (longest climbs in the area), altitude gained, highest elevation (highest summit), average grade (sort the grades by varying distances), lowest start point, etc. Click on "Climb Page" to jump to the detail page for that particular bike climb. We feel this page provides a good summary of the best cycling climbs in South Dakota.
The top bike climbs in South Dakota are 1. O'Neil Pass, 2. Spearfish Canyon, 3. Terry Peak Summit, 4. Needles Highway , 5. Iron Mountain (Lakota Lake), 6. Iron Mountain (Keystone), 7. Sylvan Lake, 8. Pinnacles Overlook - Badlands, 9. Norbeck Pass, and 10. Badlands Visitor Center (Cedar Pass)
