Vanocker Canyon is the back way into the hills from Sturgis, and one of our favorite rides that most visitors never find.
The road climbs south out of town through a narrow canyon, with rock walls, ponderosa pines, and one sweeping curve after another.
Tight curves, canyon walls, and pine forest, without the crowds. It is exactly the kind of road we started Ride the Line to share.
One stop on a bigger ride. Every tour covers several of these roads, not just one. Your Lead Rider links them together into a full day of riding, picking the best route for the weather, road conditions, and the group.
