Little Elk Creek Canyon
1 reviews
 5 of 5

The Trail follows a creek in bottom of a canyon. It's shown as a road on some older maps. The road has washed out (flood of '72?). The trail takes you through rock formations named "White Gate" and "Red Gate". It connects with the Centennial Trail (which is somewhat challenging in this area) and the road to Dalton Lake Campground. About three miles each way = six miles out and back. Pretty much a beginner's level trail with a short technical stretch through a rocky creek bottom area. Great fall colors. Nice "after work" ride if you live in the Rapid City or Sturgis areas. It gets you onto your bike and into the Hills quickly from I-90.

Summary:
It takes a couple rides to figure out which way to go when you reach a wye in the trail. There are some dead ends.

The trail is partially single track and partially ATV-width with loose gravel and rock throughout. A short section in the middle is technical.

It's a scenic route. Do your sight-seeing on the way up so you can fly on the downhill return stretch.
