The Works 4- Day Itinerary

I'm a paragraph. Click here to add your own text and edit me. It's easy.

This is our most popular shuttle service for those looking to do 100 miles of the Maah Daah Hey Trail! This is a self guided gear shuttle - here's how it works: We meet in Medora at the shop. Load up your gear in our enclosed trailer, them drop riders off at Bennett Campground, and we move your camping equipment, coolers, etc from camp to camp each day for 4 days at the next campsite, (more details below). You get a key (and so do we), so we can ice down the coolers, resupply drinking water and pack out the trash while you're riding. You and your group get to ride point-to-point with just your day pack!

New Pricing is as follows:

$2000 minimum for up to 4 riders-$500/person each additional rider
9 rider cap-for 1 trailer with a weight limit of 1500 pounds-pack light! Our enclosed trailer dimensions are 6' x 6' x 12'. Additional Truck will shuttle trailer sepately to Campground for 8 or 9 riders. Riders & Bikes will be dropped at start of ride.
Additional Shuttles (rescues or same day return trips fees applied based on drive time from where we are located at the time of call.). For the full itinerary click here:

DAY 1 - 7:30 am meet time at our shop in Medora. Bring your gear, food, and mountain bikes (or pick up your rental). We load up the trailer and jump in the truck or van for a 1 hour shuttle to the northern campsite drop off. This is usually Bennett Campground or Highway 50 crossroads depending on the group dynamics (strong or sightseers), weather conditions (looming storm, super hot, etc), and efficiency on the morning prep. Bennett Camp to Magpie = 25 miles, Hwy 50 to Magpie Camp = 17 miles-includes 3 miles before camp to explore the Ice Caves spur trail.

DAY 2 - Magpie to Elkhorn Camp for a scenic and challenging 22 mile day. This day entails two major Highlights: The Epic Devils Pass and crossing the Little Missouri River (no bridge). Please check USGS flows before planning your day. We don't recommend crossing above 3.5'. Ask for re-route options and/or extra shuttle. When all goes well, arrive at camp to find the gear trailer in the best site for your group and your favorite beverage iced down.

DAY 3 - Elkhorn to Wannagan Camp is another awesome 22 mile segment on the original Maah Daah Hey Trail plan. Jen calls this the "Land that time forgot" as you'll be traversing this ancient Landscape of hilly terrain and Petrified Cypress tree stumps remnants of a 60 million year old swampland. With a "hold on to your bike" last descent down to the Dakota Cyclery trailer waiting for you at camp.

DAY 4 - Wannagan to Medora via a short piece of the MDH, then onto the Buffalo Gap trail specially made for mountain bikers to circumnavigate the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt Nat'l Park. This faster 28 mile ride back to the shop in Medora offers the "Old Hwy 10" road bailout to cut out 5 miles of singletrack at the very end of your epic Badlands adventure. If no bailout needed, finish the Buffalo Gap and head North where the MDHT meets to finish at the I-94/Medora exit and ride the Bike Path in, Versus crossing the river at Sully Creek Campground & 2 miles of hilly paved road.
