parks. Its sprawling beauty and endless chances for adventure offer opportunities for fun and excitement for young and old. The park encompasses 71,000 acres of spectacular terrain and an abundance of wildlife. Within the park, you’ll discover a world of adventure! Favorite outdoor activities include hiking 7,242-foot Harney Peak, mountain biking, horseback riding, rock climbing, fishing, chuckwagon suppers and jeep rides to see the bison. The park boasts scenic drives such as Needles Highway (Hwy. 87), which twists and turns its way past towering rock formations and through narrow tunnels. At the end of one tunnel stands the Needles Eye, a granite spire with a slit only three to four feet wide but reaching 30 to 40 feet in the air. History and culture also abound. Walk the banks of French Creek, where Custer’s expedition first discovered gold in 1874. Or, visit the log cabin that was home to Badger Clark, South Dakota’s first poet laureate. Custer State Park can serve as the headquarters for your Black Hills stay. You’ll find resorts at Sylvan Lake, Legion Lake, Blue Bell and the State Game Lodge, all located within the park. Each resort has its own flavor, ranging from the stately Game Lodge, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, to the mini dude ranch at Blue Bell. Custer State Park campgrounds offer a variety of scenic sites. Set up camp along a flowing stream, in the midst of a pine forest or near a mountain lake. The choice is yours! Resort cabins, historic lodge rooms and motel units are available through Custer State Park Resorts. Don’t be surprised if you encounter a roadblock of grazing bison in Custer State Park. A herd of 1,300 bison roams freely throughout the park, often stopping traffic along the 18-mile Wildlife Loop Road. The herd is one of the largest in the world. Bison can weigh as much as 2,000 pounds. Historically, the animal played an essential role in the lives of the Lakota, who relied on the “tatanka” for food, clothing and shelter. A word of caution: Bison can be unpredictable and dangerous. Please view them from inside a car. In September, the herd is rounded up during the annual Buffalo Roundup. A variety of fun activities also take place in the park that weekend. The park is also home to other wildlife such as pronghorn antelope, mountain goats, bighorn sheep, mountain lions, deer, elk, wild turkeys and a band of friendly burros. The park offers many educational programs and family activities. For example, park naturalists lead guided nature walks and goldpanning excursions. A world of adventure awaits at Custer State Park—all that is missing is you! 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 ACCOMMODATIONS AMERICAN PINES CABINS 1315 Old Hill City Rd., Keystone, SD 877-773-5151 • 605-666-5475 • www.americanpines.com Six newly constructed cabins on 4 acres of mountain meadow, 5 miles from Mount Rushmore.

Community celebrations and events are held throughout the year showcasing this heritage. In May a Bluegrass Festival is held. During Memorial weekend the Trails, Trains and Pioneers Museum holds a pancake breakfast to begin its season. The Buena Vista Wagon and Trail Ride begins later the same day and the Ranch Trail Ride is on Sunday. The Memorial Day Bridge Celebration at Teddy Roosevelt Memorial Park Monday concludes the weekend. Summer kicks off with the WRCA Ranch Rodeo. July hosts the Redneck Rally in July with parades, mud drags and lawnmower races. The Fall River County Fair is held each year on the first weekend in August. Edgemont celebrates fall with a Fall Festival. The celebration season concludes with Winter Wonderland in December. Located on the “edge” of the Black Hills, Edgemont offers spectacular scenery with wide open prairies and the beauty and ruggedness of the Black Hills. Native elk, mule deer, white tail deer, pronghorn and the Merriam turkey are common in the area. Occasional sightings of big horn sheep, mountain lions, coyotes and bobcats are also possible. Archeological sites put man in this area well before the time of Christ. Native people traveled in and out of the Black Hills for several hundred years. Jedediah Smith is believed to have traveled along the Cheyenne River in 1823. Lt. Col. George Custer and five companies of men visited the area in 1874 and spent the first days of August coming to the Cheyenne River just east of Edgemont. The area was crossed by the Cheyenne to Deadwood Stage, as well as spurs of the Sidney to Deadwood Wagon Trail. By 1890, the railroad had reached Edgemont, the same year the town was organized. The railroad’s presence has continued to the present day in Edgemont which is currently served by the Burlington Northern-Sante Fe and boasts more than 50 trains a day. In 1984, the Burlington High Line railway, running from Edgemont to Deadwood, was abandoned and in 1998 it was converted by a rails-to-trails project to the George S. Mickelson Trail/Burlington Route. The museum, opened in 2005, was named Trails, Trains & Pioneers. Edgemont has long been the economic center of western Fall River County’s ranch country. Our downtown is home to restaurants and taverns, shops, antiques, the park, a campground and a museum that doubles as a visitor information center. We boast the only livestock auction barn in America converted into a dinner theatre. A group of volunteers coordinated the building of a covered bridge for Edgemont's park in 2010-11. The inside displays historic and current ranchers’ livestock brands. An annual Bridge Celebration is held on Memorial Day.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation in Washington, D.C., named Hot Springs as one of America’s “Dozen Distinctive Destinations for 2009.” This identifies Hot Springs as a community that offers a unique visitor experience by combining a dynamic downtown with cultural diversity and attractive architecture. In 1890, Fred T. Evans built the 200x70-foot Plunge Bath over a giant thermal spout of warm mineral water and a group of small springs, which bubble up from its pebble bottom. Our sparkling, naturally warm mineral water created the Evans Plunge, the world’s largest natural warm-water indoor swimming pool. The 87 degree mineral water flows from a thermal spring at 5,000 gallons a minute. The therapeutic “healing” water has soothed visitors for over 100 years. Today, Evans Plunge entertains the whole family with water slides, fun tubes, kids’ pools, jungle rings and lap swimming pool. A fullservice health club is also available. There are many adventures to be had in Hot Springs! A one-of-a-kind paleontological find — The Mammoth Site — showcases the in-situ remains of 60 mammoths as well as many other creatures and Ice-Age exhibits. The site is housed in an educational center and research facility where you can see history being uncovered right before your eyes. After checking into your choice of over 400 rooms of lodging, stroll along the Freedom Trail that winds its way along the banks of Fall River. Walk under a water- fall and experience the unique shops, galleries, coffee houses, book stores, restaurants and lounges in centuryold sandstone buildings along Chicago, Jennings and North River streets. Take a trip to Wind Cave National Park to view the wildlife, hike on the many hiking trails and tour Wind Cave. The beauty surrounding Hot Springs forms the backdrop for Southern Hills Golf Course, named 2000-12 by Golf Week. Then head to Putt 4 Fun miniature golf next to Budget Host Hills Inn. South of town on Hwy. 71, see the wild mustangs in the beautiful natural setting, view wildlife, Native American cultural sites or see movie sets and more at the Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary—11,000 acres where more than 500 wild horses roam. The 21,560-square-foot Pioneer Museum is a great place to learn about early pioneer history. The beautiful sandstone buildings in Hot Springs, including the museum, are on the National Historic Register and the Department of Veterans Affairs Hot Springs Medical Center has been designated a National Historic Landmark. Hot Springs is surrounded by lakes —Cold Brook Dam, Cottonwood Dam and Angostura State Recreation Area. Spend a day at the beach, fishing, boating or hiking! This charming community is ideally situated and equipped by nature as a Mecca for health, adventure and recreation seekers. Bathe, play and convalesce in the Southern Black Hills.

George Armstrong Custer — the man who led the famed 7th Cavalry on a government expedition into the last unexplored region in the United States — Custer is surrounded by cliffs adorned with dense outcroppings of Ponderosa Pine, clear-running streams and birch groves, all teeming with wildlife. A desirable location in the Black Hills makes Custer an ideal vacation headquarters. Mount Rushmore National Memorial, Crazy Horse Memorial, Wind Cave National Park, Custer State Park, Jewel Cave National Monument and several other public recreation areas are just a few minutes away by car. Custer has more than 50 hotels, motels, campgrounds, horse camps, bed and breakfasts and resorts. A variety of restaurants provide a culinary experience. Custer’s streets also have more than 30 museums, galleries, gift shops, grocery and retail stores, including the Custer County 1881 Courthouse Museum. Housed in Custer’s frontier courthouse building and open Memorial Day to Labor Day, this museum interprets Black Hills history spanning from the 1874 Custer Expedition to modern day ranching and mining operations. Surrounded by the 1.2 million-acre Black Hills National Forest, residents and visitors experience a variety of recreational activities. Custer is home to three city parks, ball fields, horseshoe and tennis courts, a community swimming pool and a nine-hole public golf course. The former Burlington & Missouri railroad bed has been converted into the 114-mile-long Mickelson Trail that provides biking, hiking and horseback riding through some of the most scenic areas in the Black Hills. Custer observes the discovery of gold every July with a parade, a hot air balloon rally, quilt show and flower shows, kids activities and street dance. Just a short drive outside town is Wind Cave National Park, famous for wild-roaming bison herds, nature trails and the fourth-longest cave in the world. Neighboring Wind Cave is Jewel Cave National Monument, the second-longest cave in the world. Visitors often opt for the four-hour wild caving tours and candlelight walks available at both caves, but easy halfhour trips are available for more timid underground explorers. Every year thousands of visitors flock to see the annual Custer State Park Buffalo Roundup. The ground rumbles as 1,500 head of buffalo are herded by park personnel, cowboys and cowgirls into the buffalo corrals, passing two designated viewing areas along the way. Visitors watch the park staff sort, brand, test and select animals for sale. The Buffalo Roundup is complemented by the Buffalo Roundup Arts Festival and the Chili Cookoff. The three-day event includes entertainment and arts and crafts booths. Chefs from across the region compete in the chili cookoff sponsored by the Custer Area Chamber of Commerce. 63 64 ACCOMMODATIONS 1882 BLACK HILLS DAKOTA VACATION HOME Downtown Custer, SD • 605-673-2792 www.vrbo.com/360873 • vacationrental@goldenwest.net Historic Custer landmark.
