The Amazing Black Hills of South Dakota

Last Updated: September 30, 2024

The Retirement Travelers visit the Black Hills, where we see wild animals on the Custer State Park Wildlife Loop. We also visited Mount Rushmore and other Monuments. Next, we paddle board on Sylvan Lake where John joins some teens and jumps off the high rocks into the lake. After Sylvan Lake, we take to the backroads of the Black Hills on side-by-side ATVs with the help of two Rapid City residents, Tristan and Sheridan. We stay at Bismarck Lake Campground and Roubaix Lake Campground and see the best State Park in America, Custer State Park, and one of the most scenic drives, the Needles Highway.

Before Mount Rushmore, we made a stop during our retirement travel at Badlands National Park. Join us for some great hiking, parking mishaps, and great landscapes in our video from the park, which was one of our favorite National Parks.
