What NOT to do in Deadwood & The Black Hills of South Dakota - Wolters World Cindy: Sir, I really appreciate you and everything you said in this video. We just attended our 1st Sturgis event and I appreciate the fact that you did not bad mouth motorcyclists as we have been asked many times if we were afraid to go to a biker rally (bad guys) go there? Happily just the opposite, we have reservations for next year just because of the beauty we saw during our (not nearly enough) time while there! Camping included and we cant hardly wait so we decided to arrive earlier than before and will be RVing it for, who knows how long? LOL I also appreciate you pointing out that there are some places you might want to avoid taken your children to. Anyway, AWESOME VIDEO

What not to do? Don't go there. The locals are jerks, they don't know how to drive and are very aggressive. You go to Mount Rushmore, and you look at it the whole way up the hill from Keystone, then you get there, and think, I just drove 14 hours to get here, I've been looking at this thing for the last 30 minutes driving up here, and I feel like I need to keep looking at it to get my money's worth. The whole place is over rated. Go to Rocky Mountain National Park, or Yellowstone for the real experience. This place is like Disneyworld, but not in a good way.

You forgot Harney Peak aka: Black Elk Peak. That is an absolute must in the Black Hills. The highest point east of the Rockies until you get to France. Unbelievable view from the top. On a clear day you can see 5 states.
Also, Kids can go into casinos in Deadwood. I grew up in that area. There is alot to do for kids in Deadwood and Lead.
Crazyhorse is a 300 year project. It is a very very amazing place.
Wind Cave and Jewell caves in the south part of the Black Hills is a must. Custer State Park.
That's just the tip of many things you missed.

I drove across the country from NYC to Washington state last month and just flew back. I visited and camped in several national parks along interstate 90, so I got to know the parks well. But the places I want to come back and visit more are in South Dakota. I drove the needles highway in Custer state park, visited Deadwood, Adams museum, the digital information desk was amazing. But I missed wind cave and jewel cave. So I definitely will come back to South Dakota. Its such an exciting state.

Very nice presentation. I have been to Mt. Rushmore a dozen times and to Keystone and Rapid City but when we were working, we were usually headed for Yellowstone and we just sort of passed through. I wish I had taken more time to visit all the other towns in the region. The Black Hills are an over looked gem by many people. It is one of the most beautiful areas in the U. S. I wish more stuff was open after Labor day because that is when we travel the most because we don't like the big crowds.

My brothers live in SouthbDakota-one in Soux Falls, other in Rapid City. I am in Greenville, North Carolina. When I go to Rapid City-always vist Mount Rushmore, Badlands, Crazyhorse, and Wall Drug. Always visit in the summer when the attractions are operating and the weather is best. Winter is just too cold and snow. This is an excellent little video-love the enthusiastic and bubbly-happy presentation!

But, if you're like me, you live 45m from everything in the Southern Black Hills. Even during the non terrorist seasons (Yeah, that's what most locals refer to visitors as -- which is their primary source of income. Everything will be booked, and hotels will be in excess of $400.

Don't forget to tell them about the backside of Mt. Rushmore (driving around to see them from a different angle on the bottom. Don't miss the helicopter flight between Hill City and Custer. It flies right up to Crazy Horse (or extended flights) and across my families property.

Other donts. Dont try to pet the rattle snakes. Dont take selfies next to the Buffalo. Dont try to climb Mt. Rushmore. Dont insult the people in the motorcycle clubs. And last but not least, dont drive your 40 foot RV through Needles Highway for reasons that are obvious.

3: 56 I did a ghost tour of that hotel and it was very fun and Interesting. The stairs that go up to the 3rd floor I actually saw a shadow figure standing at the top. It could not have been a shadow from someone because it was everyone was on the 2nd floor.
