The Black Hills are in western South Dakota and northeastern Wyoming, covering an area 125 miles long and 65 miles wide. Enjoy yourself while viewing the many rugged rock formations, canyons and gulches, open grassland parks, tumbling streams, and deep blue lakes.
Millions of visitors come to the Black Hills each year to experience the rich and diverse heritage.
Above: Federal, state, county and city officials are joining private landowners to identify and cut trees that were infested with pine beetles last year, preventing the developing larvae from hatching and spreading to other trees this summer.
Have fun, but look up, look down, look all around, and beware of falling dead trees. The mountain pine beetle epidemic is spreading in the Black Hills, even as foresters work to address the situation.
