It’s Biker Heaven…Each year, Sturgis’ Main Street becomes a sea of motorcycles, leather and denim, not to mention, people. Since 1938, Sturgis has welcomed motorcycle enthusiasts from across the United States and around the world to the annual Motorcycle Rally. Based out of this small community in the northern Black Hills, the Rally officially runs for seven days every August. Attend the Rally once and it becomes clear why it’s a mandatory destination for so many bikers. The sound of growling engines, the smell of exhaust, and the glint of sunlight off chrome are just a few of the elements that make the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally a unique experience.And since it’s all about the journey, join us for a ride that celebrates the beauty of the West – from the Wasatch Mountains, through Yellowstone National Park, to the rodeos of Cody Wyoming and the monolith that is Devil’s tower.
