사우스다코타 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

A truly beautiful lake to walk around. The trail is easy, though there's a bit of a climb and a narrow cliff.

A nice centre with all kinds of beautiful painted buffalos.

The Black Hills are fossil-rich and from a distance the darker and denser vegetated ridgelines make them appear dark or even black.

Major Lake Park is a quiet lakeside spot in Hill City, perfect for a picnic, a wildlife break, or a quick detour off the Mickelson Trail. Look out for geese, deer, and the local osprey.

Along this section of the George S. Mickelson Trail, you'll cross several wooden bridges over Rapid Creek, offering incredible views as you're elevated above the water, surrounded by lush forest.

At Dumont Trailhead, you'll find a water refill station to keep your hydration levels up before heading out. Restrooms are available for a quick pit stop, and there are picnic tables nearby if you'd like to relax or have a snack before heading back out onto the trail.

Custer State Park, located in the Black Hills, offers diverse landscapes, from dense forests to open prairies and towering granite peaks. During a visit, you can expect breathtaking views, including sweeping views of the Black Hills and jagged rock formations. The park is teeming with wildlife, including bison, deer, elk, and bighorn sheep, which roam freely across the park. You can spot golden eagles and red-tailed hawks. In the spring and summer, wildflowers bloom in the meadows, adding color to the already stunning surroundings.

The Crazy Horse Memorial is one of the most iconic landmarks in the Black Hills. Still under construction, it’s set to be the world’s largest mountain carving and honors the Lakota leader Crazy Horse. Even in its unfinished state, it’s an impressive sight and carries a powerful story about Native history and resistance. You can see the sculpture from the road, but the visitor center offers a closer view, along with exhibits on Native American culture and the carving process.
