From what we saw, the ride from Dumont to North Deadwood was one of the best parts. The elevation change shown on this page isn't nearly so sever when stretched out over the 109 mile ride. The keyboard on this notebook computer isn't the best, so please forgive a few edit hacks. Link to the offical trail map http://gfp.sd.gov/state-parks/directory/mickelson-trail/map.aspx Happy trails.

Super nice ride for a beginner rail trailer! (her) First 1.5 miles are slightly uphill for 1.5 miles, then it is nearly all downhill for the next 17 into Deadwood. Saw lots of riders on hybrid bikes with 1.5 inch or about 35mm tires on the trail what were not having any problems with trail surface. There are two cab companies that serve Deadwood that provide a ride back up to Dumont or Rochford to retrieve your car for under $30.00. If you get back to SD, is a bike ride not to be missed.
