Day 25

Mitchell to Sioux Falls

Sunday, September 6, 2026

At 72 miles, today is another relatively short day in the saddle. Your ride brings you into South Dakota's largest city: Sioux Falls. The location of Sioux Falls, on the banks of the cascading Big Sioux River, has been a site of human habitation since antiquity. This area was first settled by Native Americans who harnessed the water source for agriculture. The land near the water was also held sacred as a burial ground and is still respected as such today. This evening, after enjoying dinner on your own, take a stroll along the river to Falls Park.
