Galena is a best kept secret in the Black Hills. It was an old mining town and is still home for several families.

Bear Butte Creek Guides you to this historical Place Starting in Deadwood on Main St. Follow Hwy 85 West to Hwy 385 between Deadwood and Lead. Turn left.
About 7 miles over Strawberry Mountain, you’ll see Wild Bill’s Campground on your left along with a sign saying 4 Miles to Galena.

This is a wide compacted gravel road, well-maintained, and very accommodating to the motorcycle rider. This road is curvy, but wide and easily ridden. It follows Bear Butte Creek from the campground into Galena.
