  • Vanocker Canyon / Nemo Road Scenic Drive
Trip Distance: 
17 Miles

Vanocker Canyon, which runs through the Black Hills from Sturgis to Nemo via Forest Service Road 26 off Interstate 90, is a favorite of locals and motorcyclists alike.

This is the route to take if you want a quieter autumn drive with fewer crowds than Spearfish Canyon.

While you're there, take a closer look at the foliage by stopping in Nemo to hike the Centennial Trail, a 111-mile footpath that stretches from Bear Butte Park to Wind Cave National Park. Or cast your finishing lines in the still waters of Dalton Lake Recreation Area.
