CUSTER STATE PARK TRAIL CHALLENGE // RV SITE AT BLUE BELL CAMPGROUND // 3 TOP TRAILS

🐏Stan and Rhonda continue their adventure in Custer State Park. This time they take you on three different hike and bike trails. Each one was unique in it's own way. Stan and Rhonda take their bikes and head into the back country, taking you Into The Wild. During their first ride they see longhorn sheep, white tail deer, and two massive Bison that made it clear they did not like Stan's singing. On their second ride they go to Grace Coolidge Fishing Trail. They cross 14 creek beds with flowing water and some too deep to ride through. Their last ride of the day, was the Grace Coolidge Bike Trail. This trail is an asphalt trail perfect for families and bike riders of all ages as it traverses through the hills of Custer State Park. Although a very easy ride it gives you the opportunity to see wild life up close and personal. After riding almost 30 miles, the most beautiful and amazing thing about these trails, the admission price is100% free for everyone to enjoy while you are camping or visiting the park. Come with Stan and Rhonda as they take their viewers on another incredible adventure.

We exercise to stay healthy (and to be able to eat more ;) especially as we get older, but bike riding is the ultimate way to explore the outdoors. You see, hear and smell all the sights. There is nothing like it! We are proud of you for getting on your new trail bike and getting out there! Check out the AllTrails App to find trails near you 👍👏 Thank you for sharing with us! Keep up the good work! 🥰 ~ Rhonda and Stan

    Hey Rhonda and Stan. I’ve been binge watching your videos…SD, MI, WY, and Utah. You do such a great job on your videos. I’m sticking close to home right now due to my mom passing in June last year and since I’ve been almost full time caregiver for my dad while also working full time. Last time I had my camper out was Fall of 2022. Can’t wait to get back out and now I have a new e-bike to take with me. I camped in SD 2021 right by the Mickelson trail but only walked a short portion. Hope y’all have a great season. Be blessed.

    That was fun! Loved watching it. FYI, there are no bears in SD. So, you don't need bear spray. Many call the Black Hills the banana belt as it doesn't get as cold as the rest of the state. Usually it only goes a little below freezing and then goes back above in the winter. The snow melts quickly there. The trail from Grace Coolidge is a favorite of ours. My husband loves to fish those little pools along it. 38 years ago we discovered Center Lake and would camp there almost every year. Now that we have a big rig we camp at Game Lodge but always spend at least a day up at Center Lake. It is beautiful and much less crowded than Sylvan Lake.

    Hi again! We did not know that there isn’t a resident bear population in South Dakota! Wow, thanks for sharing that information. Interesting to hear the snow melts quicker in the Black Hills Region. We used to live in the Southern California mountains and we would have winter for 5+ months out of the year and in June on occasion 😱 We loved it while we were there, but exchanged it for the heat of Arizona 4 years ago 😂 Loved our time in Custer. Game Lodge campground is absolutely beautiful! We imagine you see the bison in that field right out front 🦬 Fun knowing you enjoy the same places we visited in Custer. Thank you so much for sharing! ~ Rhonda and Stan

We absolutely fell in love with South Dakota too. Like we said in the video we would move there if it didn’t get down to 50 below zero in the winters. We have so many more adventures to come in South Dakota. We just wasn’t sure if we could make it back so we did everything we could. There was so much to do. Definitely one of our favorite states.
