What To Expect

Nemo

The Wildwest Town of Nemo, South Dakota is like no other. Originally built as a sawmill town by the Hearst Family, Nemo served the largest Gold Mine in the Western Hemisphere, the Homestead Mine. Many original buildings exist today, keeping the charm intact. We'll visit the Mercantile, Restaurant, School and Church of Nemo.

Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway

This winding road takes us through some of the most beautiful scenery in the Northern Black Hills. Along the way we'll stop and have a picnic lunch.

Spearfish Falls

My favorite of all the waterfalls is just down a trail near Roughlock. The water makes its voice heard before revealing its beauty.

Roughlock Falls State Nature Area

We'll trek about a mile down a boardwalk to the crystal clear falls. Wildflowers and birds chirp along the way while the anticipation builds to see the famous waterfall.

Bridal Veil Falls

One of the tallest and most beautiful, Bridal Veil Falls catches the eye and lures the traveler in. We'll stop here to see its magical mist flowing over the canyon walls.

Aladdin General Store

The Aladdin Trading Post is a historic landmark located in northeastern Wyoming. The post was established in 1896 and has been in continuous operation ever since, making it one of the oldest operating businesses in the state. The trading post offers visitors a glimpse into the history of the area, with a variety of antique and vintage items for sale.

Spearfish

Here, we'll stop for a bite to eat. There are several restaurants in this quaint town. We'll be happy to choose one for you or try whatever catches your eye. Lunch is on your own, and we'll set a meeting time and location.

Geographical Center Of Entire United States

Belle Fourche, South Dakota, is a small town located in the northern part of the state. One of the town's main claims to fame is that it is home to the Geographical Center of the United States. The monument marking the center of the country is located just outside of town and attracts visitors from all over the world.

Devils Tower National Monument

First things first! We'll head directly to Devil's Tower, also known as Bear Lodge. Here we'll hike around the tower and have moments to see the spectacular views from the trail of not only the tower but the valley surrounding it.

Deadwood

Nestled amidst the rolling hills of the Black Hills National Forest, Deadwood beckons with its storied past and vibrant present. Once a bustling hub of the Gold Rush era, this charming town retains its frontier spirit while offering a delightful blend of old-world charm and modern-day excitement.

Kelly did an amazing job switching the tour up due to bad weather in the morning and catering our private tour for us. The sights were incredible and she was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend this tour.

Thank you, Andrea! Kelli is not only very smart, but highly adaptable. You really need to be able to make things work on a day when the weather isn't working on the normal itinerary. That's what is so great about a private tour, not a bus. It also helps to have a great guide like Kelli. Safe travels to you and please share with your friends!

Fantastic Tour to Devil’s Tower and Spearfish Canyon. Daniel as a very kind, fun and knowledgeable tour guide. We enjoyed a wonderful day touring with him. He allowed us to move at our own pace so we could see and enjoy what was important to us. He emailed quality photos at the end of the tour! He and Aimee were so helpful and accommodating in planning our tours.

Going through the back roads and looking for wildlife just so happened that the goats were in the road what are the chances ! Also Devils Tower was amazing the trial the views everything i hoped to see. We could have done the trip on our own but having our guide we had a wealth of information that we would otherwise not been privy to. We were also allowed to change up our route as we had seen a bit of it prior to our tour which was cool didn’t have to stick to a set list. Highly enjoyed!

That’s exactly why we do what we do—bringing places to life in ways you might not experience on your own. And yes, flexibility is key!
