Today we rode the 1880 train from Keystone to Hill City and back. We've been talking about doing this for years, but never got around to it.

| This is the route we followed |
The trip is about 10 miles or so and takes about 50 minutes.
It was really fun, and if Kim and Richard ever make it to the Black Hills, we'll do it again with them.
We've ridden the road that follows the tracks many times on the bikes. It's amazing how much we miss, we were able to just sit and watch the scenery today. We had lunch in Hill City, and then rode the train back to Keystone.
Here are some pictures of today's adventure. Tomorrow we're going to ride to Devil's Tower - one of our favorite rides.

| That's Harney Peak in the distance - the highest mountain east of the Rockies! It's 7242 feet. |
