The legendary Black Hills of South Dakota are an oasis of pine-clad mountains that rise out of a sea of the earth-tone grasses of the Great Plains. The Black Hills are nearly 90 miles from north to south and offer everything you would expect from a mountain vacation. There are five national parks, scenic drives and waterfalls, abundant wildlife, acclaimed recreation trails, plentiful tent and RV camping sites, and of course, trout fishing. It is a place where bison and wild horses still roam free. The old west heritage is rich with names like Crazy Horse, Red Cloud, General Custer, Calamity Jane, Wild Bill Hickok, and the gold mines of historical Deadwood. Few places on this continent offer the beauty and the diversity of the Black Hills. With more than 130 attractions, there is something for all ages. |
