We had to be back in Rapid City at a specified time this evening and had to plan accordingly. In order to cover two trails in our limited time, we biked Creekside Trail rather than hiking it. Its paved surface made the ride easy and quick. We could have started across the road from where we started our hike but decided to start at the State Game Lodge instead. It turned out to be a good choice, as the return ride back to the lodge was easier than the ride out to the Grace Coolidge camping area.
The scenery along this trail didn't compare with that of the previous, but it was relaxing and fun to ride. We were able to see three young bighorn sheep grazing in an open field along the path.
