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*

Incredibly fun day. We had our tour guide, Ashley, and 2 new guides she was training. This made the trip all the more fun! All 3 were a wealth of knowledge, both historically and geologically. They took us to many spots we would have never known about or even thought to go to. They shared so many other spots and things to do that left us wanting to come back and visit! To top it off, when we went on the wildlife loop we got incredible views of Buffalo. As a history teacher, they taught me new things to take back and teach my kids. You can’t go wrong with this company. Between the friendliness, knowledge, and everything else, it is 100% worth the money!!

Aww thank you for taking a moment to write a review. Each of them mean so much to us, and it’s great to hear you had a wonderful time! Ashley is a great guide and she’s passing that information onto our new team members. I hope you found great surprises along the way, and your experience in South Dakota exceeded your expectations. See you down the road!

Daniel was fantastic! We took a full day tour with our family (including 8 and 10 year old boys!). He was engaging, knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend a day with him to everyone. He showed us the unexpected beauty of the area and shared great stories
