A beautiful and peaceful place to show respect for those who have fought for our freedoms. Always a somber and sad moment to see families at the graveside of a loved one. Definitely a time to pray not only for our soldiers but for the family members who also pay the ultimate sacrifice with the loss. Prayers for all military and their families.

5. Sturgis Motorcycle Rally
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 112 reviews
In 2015, over one million bikers descend on the small town of Sturgis, South Dakota for the 75th anniversary of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally – one of the largest events for motorcycle enthusiasts in the USA. For one week each August, this town becomes home to hundreds of thousands of bikers as they enjoy motocross events, drag races and scenic rides through the nearby Black Hills, or to Dakota landmarks like the Badlands or Mount Rushmore. Be warned: accommodation prices predictably skyrocket at this time of year (camping is popular) and the crowd can get a bit rowdy. But isn't that part of the fun?

I have always wondered just what this would be like. I am not a biker myself, but intrigued at something that draws that size of a crowd. We were headed to South Dakota to see Rushmore and things (didn't realize it was bike week when booked) and discovered we would be there during this time. We decided to stop by and check it out. Take a few pictures and soak in the environment. WOW is all I can say. Never did I see so many motorcycles in one place. They were everywhere. I suggest visiting Sturgis during the rally as a bucket list item. 100% worth the trip. Talked to some really cool bikers a s well. All we encountered were very friendly people. A must do.
6. Full Throttle Saloon

World's Largest Biker Bar is the number one blue collar biker bar in the United States. Everyone is welcome, but it's well known that factory workers, construction workers and any kind of guy who busts his butt and saves his money all year is gonna be welcome at the Throttle. We get about 15,000 people a night. They go through a lot of beer. We get two tractor trailers full of beer delivered every night of the rally. The beer companies know by now that there are so many motorcycles clogging the roads, they can't send trucks during the day, so they come after 3:00 AM, when the bars have closed.

Service was excellent considering we were in a pandemic. We went in for burgers and beer and we were not disappointed. Our burger were great, beer was cold and service was very good. Don't miss this place!! Sturgis was really a lot of fun, especially during the rally!

The Iron Horse Saloon is one of my favorite places to go to during the Sturgis Rally, We like to get a drink and sit out front and watch all the people and motorcycles . This is the place where we met two very dear friends, all over a beer and a place to sit. The staff has always been very friendly to us they make the time to stop and chat no matter how busy they are. Iron Horse is one great Bar.
