Bicycling through the Badlands provides riders with excellent views of the dramatic and impressive scenery the park has to provide. This ride follows the main park road for almost 22 miles, passing multiple overlooks and points of interest along the way. The downhill route requires a shuttle between the start at the Pinnacle Overlook and end of the ride at the Ben Reifel Visitor Center. The park road does see a lot of traffic during peak season, and is steep and narrow in sections, so extreme caution is required at times. The ride can easily be shortened by starting a shorter distance from the visitor center.
