- Prime tourist country, the Black Hills are full of accommodations ranging from luxurious to basic. We stayed at two RV parks, reviewed here. There are countless places to find good food, two reviewed below. And...more of my thoughts and ramblings concerning the Paha Sapa.

- In the pine forests of the Black Hills, most of the towns owe their existence to gold, tin, and other precious metals. Nowadays, they survive on tourist dollars. Keystone, gateway to Mt. Rushmore, is commercial and fake-looking. Hill City, also known as Hillyo, has a more authentic feel.

- These Black Hills towns are steeped in history and folklore. Outlaw Deadwood, resurrected as a low-stakes gambling casino town; Lead (pronounced LEEd), with its gold-saturated canyons and lucrative but now defunct Homestake Mine; and staid Sturgis, which turns into a rip-roarin’ biker town every August during the renowned Sturgis Rally.

- South Dakota’s Black Hills have attracted people throughout time. Sacred Paha Sapa to the Lakota, tantalizing 1870’s gold seekers with the elusive promise of wealth, and more recently, providing inspiration in its sculptable mountains for two HUGE man-made monuments in granite, Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse.

- We spent a hot week in July (it was over 115 degrees in Rapid City) in Custer State Park and still had a great time hiking, caving and seeing a play!

- See also Deadwood, SD...having grown up in this area I find that after a few years of hectic life in the big cities I continue to return to the Black Hills for spiritual renewal and relaxation.

- The vaction to the Black Hills was a great getaway for the family. There were plenty of things to do--you could do something different everyday. Plenty of shopping, sites, foods, and gambling.
