What’s the best route to Sturgis from California?

I’m finally getting the chance to go to Sturgis for the motorcycle rally this year, and I want to do it right by riding there rather than trailering my bike. What is the best route for me to take to Sturgis from California?

The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in
South Dakota
draws crowds of thousands from across the country, and though many choose to trailer their bikes to save time, riding in on your steel horse is an even better way to do it! It depends on what part of the state you’re leaving from, but the best route to
Sturgis
from central
California
is via I-15.
If you don’t mind adding a couple of hours—and a lot of scenery—to your ride, take a detour East on I-70 into
Colorado
before heading north on US-13 to pick up I-80 into Sturgis. This route will take you near or through:
  • Arches National Park
  • McInnis Canyons National Park
  • The Rocky Mountains
