Summer Recreation
Black Hills activities are endless. Take your pick from recreation ideas like hiking, biking, golfing, climbing, hunting, atv tours, and much more.
From a distance the dense forests of the Black Hills give them a dark appearance. The Lakota Sioux named the area, Paha Sapa for "hills that are black." But that's the surface translation. The deeper translation is "the heart of everything that is." For summer family vacations, there is no better destination than the Black Hills of South Dakota. As the "heart of everything that is", the area offers a multitude of summer recreational opportunities.
Enjoyment of tours of Mount Rushmore, rides down an Alpine Slide, taking to the rails on a historic train, and/or just hiking, biking, rock climbing, or picnicking in the forests can be followed by shopping, and dining in the many small Wild West historical towns in the area. The area is rich with museums of all types and a variety of evening entertainment is available for young and old. You will find that there is not enough time to enjoy all that the Black Hills area has to offer as a part of either individual or family summer vacations.
