Beautiful, small waterfall alongside the George S. Mickelson Trail. This is a great spot to take a break and enjoy the quiet, peaceful surroundings.

There are a good number of tunnels along the George S. Mickelson Trail, and this one’s a standout. Carved right into the rock and surrounded by forest, it’s a cool little detour from the open trail. It gets pretty dark inside, so having a flashlight or headlamp on hand isn’t a bad idea.

You’ll see Ponderosa Pines all over the Black Hills, as they’re the most common tree in the area. These tall, straight pines grow in big numbers and give the forest its distinct look (and scent, their bark smells a bit like vanilla when it’s warm out). They’re great for shade on hot days and make the trails feel peaceful and quiet. If you’re hiking anywhere near Custer, Sylvan Lake, or along the Centennial Trail, you’ll definitely be walking through them.

Although Mount Rushmore is further away, this unexpected Abraham Lincoln statue along the George S. Mickelson Trail adds a bit of history to your hike. Installed as part of a series honoring U.S. presidents, it’s a quirky reminder of South Dakota’s deep ties to American history.

This is a lovely spot on the George S. Mickelson Trail to see grazing cows and other local wildlife. This stretch through Black Hills National Forest is quiet and open, worth a short stop.
