Overview

"The trails are either maintained forest access roads or super challenging offroad trails" may be a sentence you've heard summarizing the Black Hills, but Polo Peak is undoubtedly one of the outliers to that statement. Polo Peak is a rare, scenic getaway from this area's thick, tree-covered trails, as ascending to the very top will provide you with 360-degree views of the entire forest and surrounding towns. With just enough challenge and diversity to make this interesting for any wheeler, Polo Peak should be on your shortlist for trails in this area. If you don't mind camping without a fire, the top provides large groups a gathering spot to talk about the day's adventures and the many more experiences to come while wheeling in the Black Hills.
