The beautiful Black Hills National Forest will delight nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Sprawled over a large part of the southwest, its mountain-clad forests offer a wealth of recreational opportunities. Hiking, mountain biking, and camping are popular activities.

The rugged and remote Black Hills mountain range dramatically rises up above the Great Plains. Hidden away among its scenic slopes and verdant forests are lakes and streams, canyons, caves, and rock formations. It also encompasses the 2,208 metre high Black Elk Peak, the tallest mountain in the whole of South Dakota.
