Area Attractions
The obvious area attractions that are available year-round are Mount Rushmore (we highly recommend the lighting ceremony at night if you have that availability); Crazy Horse, Custer State Park (especially if you are interested in seeing buffalo up close…just don’t approach them outside your vehicle) and the Badlands. Bear Country, Reptile Gardens and Cosmos are also local favorites if they are open during your stay.

Summertime Fun
Summertime fun includes all types of recreational activities ….. mountain biking or hiking via the 111-mile Centennial Trail, or “easy” bicycling / hiking via the 109-mile Mickelson Trail, four-wheeling via the extensive Black Hills ATV / UTV road system or rock climbing. The Black Hills also has an extensive lake and stream system, for leisure activities and the fishing enthusiast. There are also multiple great golf courses in the area, including Boulder Canyon Golf Course which is basically right next door.

Winter Activities
You are in the “banana belt” of South Dakota, sheltered from the worst of winter weather by mountains. Though the popular Black Hills vacation destination can see a few snow storms in the colder months, the average temperature from November to April is 42 degrees. And it’s not unimaginable to see 60 degrees in January. Mild winter weather allows you to not only take in cozy experiences indoors, but immerse yourself in the famous landscapes in the Black Hills and the Badlands area. You can even test your skating skills at Main Street Square in Rapid City or Deadwood’s Outlaw Square.
