Black Hills vacation
Does anyone have any comments good or bad concerning the Black Hills area, Mt
Rushmore, etc as a vacation destination? Any suggestions on where to stay, what not to miss? Family is looking at traveling to the area starting August 13th. Thanks, Alvie & Elsie Miller 1993 WLWB Arthur IL |

The Sturgis Bike Rally is August 9th - 15th in Sturgis, SD, near the Black Hills. It will be very busy in the Black Hills area at that time.

Alvie,
We enjoyed Hot Springs for a day or two before going up to Mt Rushmore. Great local dining and a few attractions. If you choose toaccess Mt. Rushmore throughCuster State Park to see the bison, it's astunning drivebut it is miles of two-lane switchbacks and three one-lane tunnels. You'll be busy. Unfortunately, our electric radiator fan on our 84 FC was not working properly and we overheated and had to be towed up and over the mountain into Rapid City. I'll have to go back and see it under other circumstances someday. Brad...formerly84 FC and 2000LXi.

Black Hills vacation
We are in the Black Hills right now -- and it is beautiful!!  Sturgis Rally is the first week of August -- every year but there are still places to camp.  We are outside of Rapid City at Hart Ranch--wonderful RV Resort.  There are also some very nice campgrounds by Custer -- both in the park as well as privately owned ones outside the park.  If you have a toad,  it is much easier to get around but we have seen people all over the roads with the big RV's. Well worth a visit -- but then we are prejudiced.  We are from here!  There are all kinds of outdoor stuff to do -- hiking, biking, picnicking, driving to just experience the beauty.  Being lazy and doing nothing in beautiful surroundings.  As well as Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, the mammouth sites in Hot Springs, the Badlands--just to name a few.
We will be gone in August to do the relative hop before heading to NC for the fall. Â Wish we would be here to show you around. Jana and Mike Ewart 89 PT40WB Royal Conversion

Check out the Hart Ranch. Not that far out of town. You do have to listen to there sales pitch. We were there a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it.
