Black Hills National Forest · South Dakota, Wyoming
Begins at the forest's mile 0, 44.0822, -103.3757 - no trailhead mapped Drive to where the trail begins
Access the Schroeder Trailhead from Rapid City. Drive 3 miles west of Rapid City on Nemo Road to Schroeder Road, turn west (left) and proceed through residential area for about 2 miles. The trailhead will be on the left as you approach the Forest boundary.
The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
