Quotes From the Field:
"I've been to the Black Hills several times, always on a Harley going to or from Sturgis and the big motorcycle rally. Each and every time I go, I come home talking about what a great destination South Dakota would make for an adventure vacation. I finally decided to make it happen!"

Black Hills Family Vacations
The Black Hills of South Dakota: a family-friendly oasis of pine-clad mountains and prairie land, abundant wildlife, world-class National Parks and a host of dedicated Rails to Trails bike routes.
- Walk in the footsteps of Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, Wyatt Earp and Buffalo Bill in the Old West town of Deadwood
- Bike along an abandoned railroad through the heart of the Black Hills on the Mickelson Trail
- Hike the base of Mount Rushmore and visit the famed Crazy Horse monument (which, upon completion, will be 10 times the size of Rushmore!)
- Count the number of bison, elk, sheep and prairie dogs you can spot a ride along the aptly named Wildlife Loop
- Explore the vast underground world of Wind Cave National Park
- Treat yourself to a hearty dinner (try our local favorite – bison meatloaf) before calling it a night in the casual comfort of the Blue Bell Lodge
