Black Hills Transportation

With two local airports (Rapid City Regional and Sioux Falls), a number of car rental agencies, as well as charter tours and guide services, you will find a number of transportation options when planning your Black Hills vacation.

The South Dakota Department of Transportation keeps all highways servicing the Black Hills region in excellent driving condition, ever during the more severe winter months. Interstate 90 is the main route for driving to the Black Hills, but you can also enter the area on east-west highways US 16, US 18, US 212, SD 34 or SD 40. North-south highways are US 85, US 385 and SD 79.

You don't need to bring your own car to have a wonderful vacation here. If you plan to travel by air, Rapid City Regional Airport is the commercial airline hub for the Black Hills. Once you arrive, there are many car rental agencies or sightseeing services that can transport you to your hotel or campground. Custom sightseeing services with vans are also available that can offer you scheduled and custom tours throughout the Black Hills and the Badlands.
