Description

Most people who ride this trail are 25 miles into a 50 mile day, so the short steep climb up Sheep Flats, i.e. Sheep Steeps can feel like a bit of a grind, but on its own this is a great trail. Not only does it connect the classic Black Hills singletrack, it wanders through some of the best deer and elk habitat in the Northern Black Hills.

O & B sheep attack burrito. Good views. Mix double singletrack but looks like new trail work to reroute. Good connector but not as fun as other
