The Atlas/South Dakota/Bridal Veil Falls Pullout

Bridal Veil Falls Pullout

A 60-foot waterfall cascading down a sheer limestone cliff directly beside US-14A (Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway) at milepost 5.9. A paved crosswalk leads to a small wooden viewing platform on the opposite bank — one of the easiest waterfall stops in the Black Hills, with roadside parking on both shoulders.

// Why riders stop

Zero detour required — the falls appear at a bend in the canyon road and a gravel shoulder fits a dozen bikes. The 20-mile Spearfish Canyon Byway is a top-tier Black Hills ride, and Bridal Veil is the natural first stop heading south from Spearfish.

Iron Mountain Road (US-16A)
South Dakota
US-16A between Custer State Park and Mount Rushmore packs 314 curves, 14 switchbacks, three wooden pigtail bridges, and three single-lane tunnels engineered to frame Mount Rushmore in the windshield. Ride it south-to-north for the tunnel framing, and expect heavy tourist traffic in summer.
