Bear Butte – 1,025 feet of elevation gain over 2 miles (out and back). Harney Peak – 1,100 feet elevation gain over 3.5 miles (out and back). Biking: 20 to 25 miles, easy to moderate terrain on paved roads and Mickelson Trail (packed gravel) Swimming: There will be several opportunities to swim in lakes this trip; but remember, weather is a factor and cold weather may prevent swimming from taking place. Discovery: Few attractions stir the emotions of visitors the way Mount Rushmore does. Since its completion in 1941, it has joined the Statue of Liberty and the Stars & Stripes as one of America's most inspiring symbols of democracy. Can you imagine a nose that is 20 feet long? On Mount Rushmore’s presidents’ six-story tall heads, their rather large noses appear quite normal. Discover the enormity of the Crazy Horse Memorial, its past and present controversies, and the mountain carving’s historic significance at the Native American Cultural Center. Visit a herd of the friendly wild begging burros in South Dakota’s first and largest state park, Custer State Park. Descend into the depths of Wind Cave, the first cave designated as a national park and home to approximately 95% of the world’s boxwork formation. Follow the route of the 1890 Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad on the Mickelson Trail, keeping an eye out for wild turkeys along the way. Follow the steps of famous historic figures such as Wild Bill Hickock, Calamity Jane, Jack McCall, and Seth Bullock in the Old West historic town of Deadwood. Come see all there is to do in the Mount Rushmore State! Austin Adventures guides are experienced facilitators and regional experts. They take the time to explain the local history, daily sightseeing, and route options. Each route has been carefully planned to include options to please each traveler’s interests. Austin Adventures guides are available to help you select the distance that’s right for you and to offer advice and assistance as you desire. Mickelson Trail: Imagine a path where the ghosts of Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane still roam; where bicyclists, hikers and horseback riders can explore spruce and ponderosa pine forests; and the very young, the very old and people of all abilities can enjoy. The George S. Mickelson Trail, in the heart of the beautiful Black Hills, was completed in September of 1998. Its gentle slopes and easy access allow people of all ages and abilities to enjoy the beauty of the Black Hills. Much of the trail passes through National Forest Land, but there are parts of the trail that pass through privately owned land, where trail use is restricted to the trail only. The trail is 109 miles long and contains more than 100 converted railroad bridges and 4 rock tunnels. The trail surface is primarily crushed limestone and gravel. There are 15 trailheads, all of which offer parking, self-sale trail pass stations, vault toilets, and tables. www.austinadventures.com | 800-575-1540 4 DISTINCTIVE ACCOMMODATIONS Nights 1 & 2: Deadwood Mountain Grand Hotel Deadwood’s newest boutique hotel is perched on a hill overlooking historic Deadwood. The 98-room luxury hotel is a wonderful addition to a re-development from one of Deadwood’s most unique historic landmarks, the Homestake Mine Slime Plant, now home to Deadwood’s only Event Center. You can look forward to the swimming pool with hot tub after a long day of biking. The new Deadwood Mountain Grand is an unforgettable place to stay on your visit to the Black Hills of South Dakota. Nights 3 - 5: Sylvan Lake Lodge Rich in history and natural beauty, Sylvan Lake Lodge holds the designation of Custer State Park's "crown jewel." This property features beautifully renovated lodge rooms and cabins, a lounge, a restaurant and an outdoor veranda which offers breathtaking views. The location of Sylvan Lake Lodge can't be beat, thanks to the design inspired by architect Frank Lloyd Wright. When the original lakeshore resort burned down in 1935, Wright suggested the current location amidst a forest of pine and spruce trees. The recently renovated Sylvan Lake Dining Room features the best in steaks, seafood, and chef's specialties.

  • Early Ford V8 Club Proposed Tour Black Hills South Dakota
    Early Ford V8 Club Proposed Tour Black Hills South Dakota Tour hosted by the Eastern South Dakota Early Ford V8 Club #166. The tour is designed to be five days in mid-September covering about 500 miles in the Black Hills region of South Dakota. The Black Hills are a small mountain range in western South Dakota and extending into Wyoming. The name "Black Hills" is a translation of the Lakota Pahá Sápa. The hills were so- called because of their dark appearance from a distance, as they were covered in trees. The Black Hills can be divided into two areas: "The Southern Hills" and "The Northern Hills". The Southern Hills is home to Mount Rushmore National Memorial, Needles Highway (a national scenic byway), Wind Cave National Park, Jewel Cave National Monument, Harney Peak (the highest point in the United States east of the Rockies), Custer State Park (the largest state park in South Dakota, and one of the largest in the US), the Crazy Horse Memorial (the largest sculpture in the world), and the Mammoth site in Hot Springs (the world’s largest mammoth research facility). Attractions in the Northern Hills include Spearfish Canyon (a national scenic byway), historic Deadwood, Fort Meade (it was here that the "Star Spangled Banner" first became the official music for the military, long before it became the National Anthem) and Sturgis (home of the world famous motorcycle rally first held in 1938). Plus Devils Tower National Monument, located in Wyoming, the United States’ first national monument. Registration day, welcome mixer and dinner. -Sturgis, SD sits on the borderlands between the Black Hills and the prairie.

  • Scott Olson Rapid City SD [email protected] the Lake
    Scott Olson Rapid City SD [email protected] Comment: The lake is meant to be a peaceful retreat from fast moving boats, jet skis, and other fast watercraft. It's the only lake I can be on most weekends with my inflatable pontoon and not get pushed around by recreational boaters. The solitude and peacefulness is a big reason I go there and others would agree that it needs to stay that way. There are plenty of other large lakes that recreational boat users can go to. Let's continue to keep Deerfield as a no-wake lake. Jason Himrich Rapid City SD [email protected] Comment: Us kayak fishermen would hate to lose the opportunity to easily traverse the lake without fear of colliding with a boat. Also, the Black Hills is growing daily. To lose a peaceful lake would be a blow to everyone who lives here. John Schmeltzer Whitewood SD [email protected] Comment: Please leave the no-wake restriction in place Kathryn Johnson Hill City SD [email protected] Comment: Currently Deerfield Lake is the only lake of substantial size that with no-wake restriction. All other no-wake lakes in the Black Hills are tiny by comparison. The non-motorized boaters in the are need a lake of some size such as Deerfield to enjoy quiet calm recreation. Motor boats have Sheridan and Pactola. David Whitney Rapid City SD [email protected] Comment: I'm writing in support of maintaining the no-wake restriction at Deerfield Lake. It is my contention that there is no compelling reason to disturb the peace and quiet of the lake and surrounding area (which I also enjoy) when other more accessible bodies of water are open to motorboats, jet skis and the like.
