Black Hills

The Black Hills, named for it's black color, when viewed from a distance due to its dark foliage, has been a wonder of tourists everywhere. Including such attractions as Custer State Park, the Badlands, and Harney Peak, the Black Hills have been a tourist attraction for decades. An abundance of wildlife can be found within the Black Hills and throughout other parks such as Custer State Park, Crazy Horse National Monument, and the Badlands. In earlier times, the Black Hills were known for the gold within the giant mounds of earth, which brought many settlers of Scandinavian descent to the area. One famous mine still left is the Homestake Gold Mine. It is now famous in the scientific world for its study of neutrinos that come from the sun. The Black Hills is a great place to visit and is sure to welcome you on your trip here.
