Event comments

Walk past the Center of the Nation Monument and along the Belle Fourche River on a paved bike path and then along the streets and sidewalks of Belle Fourche. This is a prewalk for the BHVA Bus trip. The stamp for the walk will be available on the bus for those that miss the walk on the 15th. You will complete the walk on your own and have 9 days in which to complete it. We are hosting this walk on the closing weekend of the Sturgis Bike Rally so be careful to cross US Highway 85 with extreme care and only at marked crosswalks. Safety first walkers. ;-)
