What To Expect

Mount Rushmore National Memorial

It's only the most recognized monumental carving in the United States. You wouldn't want to miss that would you? Come see Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt & Lincoln in this artistic masterpiece. Learn about the men behind the concept, and the workers that made it happen.

Iron Mountain Road

Iron Mountain Road was said to be impossible to build. Let's see what it's like to drive a challenge accepted. This road goes through the Black Hills, pigtail curves bridges, and tunnels on our way to stunning views. **If booked in winter months, accessibility is based on road closures and weather**

Custer State Park

Ready for some wildlife? How about mega-fauna like the American Bison? This is our best shot at seeing these massive and beautiful creatures on the wildlife loop of Custer State Park. Over 1500 Bison exist here, along with pronghorn, antelope, big horn sheep, ferrets, prairie dogs, and a variety of birds. We'll stop at the visitors center before proceeding into the Wildlife Loop Road.

Wildlife Loop Road

Welcome to the wildlife loop! We have binoculars ready and will be on the lookout for the great American Bison, Pronghorn (Antelope), Bighorn Sheep, Mountain Goats, Elk, Prairie Dogs, and all kinds of birds. This is the most diverse and best place to enjoy the wildlife of the Black Hills. **If booked in winter months, accessibility is based on road closures and weather**

Mount Coolidge Fire Lookout Tower

After Custer State Park, we'll take our vehicle to the very top of an active fire lookout tower. Beautiful views can be seen from the top, and it's a favorite of guests. **If booked in winter months, accessibility is based on road closures and weather**

Sylvan Lake

Considered the most beautiful lake in the Black Hills, we'll stop here to take it all in. Sylvan Lake is like no other you've seen. Rock formations surround the lake, and trails head out in every direction. Americana at its best! **If booked in winter months, accessibility is based on road closures and weather**

Needles Highway

Threading the eye of the needle is the best part. Find out why they call this the needles parkway and be prepared to traverse a few windy roads and tunnels along the way. Who knows what you might find? **If booked in winter months, accessibility is based on road closures and weather**

Crazy Horse Memorial

Enter the culture and history before settlers arrived in the scene. This monument is dedicated to one of the most important indigenous people of the area, Crazy Horse. A courageous, and complicated warrior, he truly left his imprint upon this land. It's a fascinating story that must be told. let's visit the monument, watch a movie and make out way through some of the most interesting Native American artifacts of this land. *On certain days during the winter the museum is closed. In this case, we will view the mountain, tell the story of Crazy Horse as well as the carver of the Mountain*

Daniel arrived promptly at the designated location for pickup. He was well prepared and made sure we knew he was flexible with the day's itinerary. The tour took us to Mount Rushmore where we watched the short movie and picked up some souvenirs. Daniel may several suggestions on what to see and also kept up informed about how long each leg of the tour would take. He drove down several scenic and wildlife drives. Along the way he told many stories that made the experience richer. The highlight of the trip for us was the drive through Custer State Park, which rivaled some of the national parks we've seen. Daniel included a nice sit-down lunch at an excellent eatery that was very tasty. All in all, an excellent all- day adventure and we will look up myxoadventures again for our next tour when we return.

Thanks so much for leaving a great review! I’m really happy you had a great time touring the Black Hills of South Dakota. With its rich history, there sure are a lot of stories to tell and even more to learn. It’s always a pleasure when you’ve got great guests such as yourselves that express curiosity and wonder. I think we did get to check all the animals off the list and were able to get some great pics in the process. Safe travels home and I look forward to hosting your friends!

Daniel’s extensive knowledge about the area’s history and the plant and animal life was impressive. It wasn’t a cookie cutter “tour” - it felt more personalized and immersive. You can stop to take pictures and stay as long as you want to at any of the stops. Wear comfortable close-toed shoes. Feel free to bring your own snacks if you want, but Daniel provides snacks and a yummy picnic lunch and plenty of water. We loved spending the day with Daniel and Amy! Whole-heartedly recommend My XO Adventures.

We liked that we got to experience so many places. All were great. Daniel was very informative, friendly, outgoing and answered all of our questions. He let us tour at our own pace. We would highly recommend Daniel for anyone interested in a private tour. Plus he makes a great picnic lunch.

So you did like the strawberry shortcake? 😆. Thank you for the review and I hope you enjoy Yellowstone as much as you did the Black Hills of South Dakota. I had a lot of fun today and am glad to hear you did too. See you down the road!
