New in SD area

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone ... Name is Rich ... originally from Colorado ... bought a 05' xr650l about a year and a half ago, but havn't been able to ride much as of yet due to work ... have been on about 20 or so rides in SD and surrounding area (havn't made it to the desert yet) and have found a few great trails, but definately a lot more fences, gates and signs ... boooo ... anybody know some good trails in the area that won't get you shot at, arrested, or chased by wild Indians ... haha ... (or a forum name that discusses such things) ...

Eagle Peak and Boulder Creek are always open...Cedar Creek MAY be open, depending on muddy conditions, etc.

Cedar Creek is the connection at the end of Eagle Pk to Boulder ck. It was open a couple weeks ago when i rode it. Its hunting season at least i think it still is and they usually open the gates for the hunters.

Well ... made it down to the end of Eagle Peak, but the roads leading on were gated ... too bad ... great views from the road around there into the valley though ... ended up backtracking up to boulder creek and riding down to Descanto (Cedar Creek gated off on Boulder Peak side also) ... the Cedar Creek trail looks like a blast though ... oh well maybe next time

Welcome Rich, from another XR650L rider! Even though I'm a Noob (still!) here on the page, I've found it to be a great place, with lots of friendly folks! I think you'll like it here!
