Normally a quiet frontier town, Sturgis has lately been recognized as the biker capital of America, drawing in crowds in the hundreds of thousands for one week in August each year. For anyone looking for excitement and crowds and lots of entertainment, Sturgis is a great destination in August, but for travelers searching for a quiet, relaxed frontier setting, Sturgis is the place to be all other times of the year. With many outdoor possibilities including access to nearby Bear Butte State Park and Mount Rushmore and many small hotels and restaurants, there is a lot to do in Sturgis every month of the year.
