Things To Do

Mount Rushmore National Memorial

Jewel Cave National Monument

Immerse yourself in one of the longest caves in the world. With over 215 miles of mapped and surveyed passages, this underground wilderness appeals to human curiosity. Its splendor is revealed through fragile formations and glimpses of brilliant color. Its maze of passages lures explorers, and its scientific wealth remains a mystery. This resource is truly a jewel in the National Park Service.

Custer State Park

One of South Dakota’s most iconic landmarks, this park stands out for its granite peaks, rolling grasslands, and clear mountain waters. Stretching over 71,000 acres, Custer is home to abundant wildlife like bison, prairie dogs, bighorn sheep, and more. Drive down Wildlife Loop Road to spot the begging burros (they approach vehicles for food), hike the Little Devils Tower Trail for a bird’s eye view of the area. Caution! On average, a Bison can run at speeds approaching 35 MPH which is as fast as a horse. Enjoy them from the comfort of your car!

SPEARFISH CANYON SCENIC BYWAY

Experience the striking natural beauty of the Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway, as you travel along a winding road that meanders through towering limestone cliffs, waterfalls, and abundant wildlife. This 22-mile route is one of the most awe-inspiring drives in the Black Hills, with breathtaking panoramic views, historic landmarks and scenic overlooks, making it a must-see destination for any avid nature lover.

Historic Deadwood

In 1876, the Wild West town of Deadwood was born when prospectors came across a gulch full of dead trees and a creek full of gold. Historic Deadwood, SD is just as wild today as it was when legends like Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane and Seth Bullock roamed the streets.
