The “Great American Roadtrip” to the Black Hills, South Dakota.\u00a0 Visited Custers Battlefield and Devil’s Tower on way down. \u00a0Billing, Montana is also an interesting place with reasonable shopping and food.<\/p>\n

Black Hills are\u00a0centered around an\u00a0igneous uplift and are higher than anything \u00a0else\u00a0east of the rockies. Hard rock with large quartz and gold seams – great history\u00a0– native american, wild west, gold rushes, and lots of great attractions.\u00a0 We saw re-enacted gunfights in Deadwood – Wild Bill Hickock\u00a0shot, museums, etc.\u00a0 Mount Rushmore and the Crazy Horse monuments are larger than expected and impressive.<\/p>\n

Natural attractions include Needles highway, caves, badlands, buffalo, wild horses, Sylvan lake(National Treasure #2 scene), and Harney Peak.\u00a0 We went up on Trail #9 for 3.8 miles and ~ 1500 ft ~ 2 hours and back on # 4.\u00a0 Plan for early day as hot weather can be thunderstorm cycle.<\/p>\n
