About Our Area
Living in the Black Hills is like being on a permanent mountain vacation. The area has the largest concentration of national and state parks, monuments, scenic drives and attractions such as the Mickelson Trail (pictured, courtesy of SD Dept. of Tourism) of anywhere in the country. You'll enjoy waterfalls, abundant wildlife, acclaimed recreational trails and spectacular trout fishing in many of our spring-fed mountain streams. Thousands of people visit world-famous
Mount Rushmore and the area's many diverse attractions every year. Historic Deadwood has become a national destination for entertainment and gaming and is the area's alpine skiing and winter sports headquarters.
The annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally attracts hundreds of thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts every August. Mountain carving continues near Custer on the sculpture of the Lakota Chief
Crazy Horse, expected to be the world's largest sculpture when completed. The natural charms of Spearfish attract shoppers, artists and sightseers as the gateway to the beautiful
Spearfish Canyon National Scenic Byway.
Besides the scenery & national parks, you will find a surprising number of attractions that the whole family can enjoy together. Large herds of buffalo, wild mustangs and burros still roam Custer State Park.
Reptile Gardens boasts the world's largest collection of reptiles. In Hot Springs, paleontologists continue to unearth prehistoric
mammoths and dinosaurs. The Black Hills are dotted with awe-inspiring caves, Old West gold mines, and dozens of other family-oriented attractions. Some have likened it to having an amusement park in their back yard. There is something different to see and experience every season of the year.

Rapid City-area climate
One of the pleasures of living in this region are the distinct four seasons we enjoy.
Springtime finds average daytime temperatures in the mid-60's. It's not uncommon for snow to fall in March or even early April but this makes for some of the country's best alpine spring skiing conditions. The snow generally doesn't last long in the foothills and plains as the days warm quickly.
April and May showers provide more than a third of the region's precipitation bringing a rainbow of wildflower color to alpine meadows. Spring-green hues from the cottonwoods, aspens and oak spend most of the warming days playing off the dark emerald of our world-famous Black Hills spruce.
Western South Dakota is well known for it's nearly perfect weather during the summer. Days are warm and pleasant- perfect for taking in the sights and enjoying all the outdoor activities the 
region has to offer. Highs average in the low-80's in the high country and may occasionally reach 90 in the foothills and plains. Humidity levels are low, and there is usually a breeze during the day, so even the warmest days remain pleasant. On average three of every four days in the summer are sunny.

When autumn arrives the hills and plains come alive with a blaze of color. From the deep reds of sumac to the brilliant yellows and oranges of aspen it's a sight that draws tourists and artists alike to take in its majesty. Things begin to cool down after Labor Day with daytime temperatures averaging around 70. Due to ideal atmospheric conditions in this area you will see some of the west's most spectacular sunsets during our autumn evenings.
Except in the highest elevations where winter sets in, it more or less visits the foothills and plains. Daytime highs average in the upper 30's to mid-40's. Occasional intrusions of Arctic air are short-lived and are easy to escape due to the protective nature of the Black Hills. At times temperature inversions can cause the air to be 40 to 50 degrees warmer just a short distance into the hills. At other times a phenomena the Native Americans called the Chinook or "snow-eater" winds give the foothills and plains a few 50 to 60 degree days making golf possible 12 months out of the year. The highest elevations enjoy consistent snow cover - about 15-25 inches a month from November through March - to the delight of alpine and cross-country skiers, snowmobilers and snowboarders or for those who like to snuggle next to a warm fire with a good book.
