    Tips

    April 18, 2025

    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.
