Black Hills South Dakota Eco Tours & Green Adventure Travel

You are ready to have your adventure in one of the country's most historical areas just like Crazy Horse and Lewis and Clark did. But this should make you think; how can we preserve this natural treasure for adventures twenty years from now. For this very reason ecotourism is a top priority for most area activity and guide companies.

Climbing in Devil's Tower and the Needles, taking in the sights from a hot air balloon ride, hiking along the numerous trails of the Black Hills and Mount Rushmore or understanding a piece of history in Deadwood. Any traveler can visit these magical places but a true ecotourist leaves no trace when they leave. An eco friendly activity is one that is designed to entertain clients while remaining environmentally minded. The details that make up this incredible area aren't to be taken for granted. Most activity and adventure companies that use the resources we are so intrigued by are proactively working to preserve what they consider their back yard. When planning your trip to the area take into consideration the practices that your guide uses. Ecotourism practices on both sides make a bigger difference than one may think.

The following companies have met or exceeded 5 of the 10 standards set by the ALL Trips Ecotourism Team. To see a complete list of Activity and Service Company Requirements please visit AllTrips.com.
