RPG and WSI present The South Dakota Buffalo Run
The Buffalo Run is a family oriented off-road adventure of monumental proportions.
We will be exploring the majestic Black Hills National Forest.
Taking in the expanse of Buffalo Gap National Grasslands.
Admiring the rugged beauty of Badlands National Park.
And gazing at more stars than most of us city dwellers can imagine.
The adventure will take us on forest service roads, through rocky technical trails, over creek crossings and include high speeds sections through the grasslands. We will have the opportunity to marvel at Mount Rushmore and the Crazy Horse Memorial as well as take a scenic drive through Badlands National Park.
Pre-running this will not be possible and the majority of the trails taken will be an “adventure”. So a great attitude is a must on this trip.
All skill levels welcome!!!
