For hikers and bikers, the George S. Mickelson Trail, near Custer, South Dakota (approximately 40 miles from the cabin) traverses over 100 miles through the heart of the Black Hills, with four tunnels, more than 100 converted railroad bridges, and 15 established trailheads spaced along the route. The trail surface is packed gravel, traversing mountain, meadow, and forest terrain.
For hikers seeking higher elevations, a day-long trek to the summit of Harney Peak, also near Custer, is worth the effort. Harney Peak is the highest natural point in the United States east of the Rocky Mountains, and although the mountain is well below tree line, most of the summit is bare granite, offering expansive views of the surrounding area. At the top, an old stone fire lookout is open to hikers.
