Longest and Last homestead gold mine in Lead, South Dakota (near Deadwood)…read more Everyone should check this gigantic hole out for themselves. The history is interesting, except for the fact that wealthy entrepreneurs exploited the common folks during the 1929 depression and bought their gold claims/homestead for less than market value. The museum was informative and had incredible exhibits but lacked a feature movie to chronically narrate its evolution.

This was not in my itinerary to go here. It was recommended by our friends who are residence of…read moreDeadwood. For sure make a quick stop here in Lead if you're on your way to Deadwood. Pretty cool to learn and see the mine from above ground. It was active until 1998. There are tours available.

This is such a pretty drive and worth checking out, even if you're not planning on doing any hikes…read more The canyon walls look so steep and during the sunset they get pink-tinged. I saw a bunch of mountain goats right next to the highway, and it was my first time seeing them since they're supposed to be shy! Be sure to drive slow so you can catch the wildlife and also not hit any of them. Some turkeys were there and they did not have any street smarts, if you know what I mean. Bridal Veil Falls is right off the highway, and very accessible. I also checked out Devil's Bathtub, although I didn't get in since it was freezing cold! Be aware that there are about 7 or so river crossings (you basically follow the stream up) so either be good at balancing on the rocks or be prepared to get wet.

I'll always rate it 5 stars. I've been coming here my whole life. On this trip, One day we spent…read moreexploring the rocks under bridal veil falls and hiked the nature hike to roughlock falls and back. The next day we did Devils bathtub hike (about 1.6 miles round trip). Bring water shoes and be prepared to navigate a bit as the trail crosses the steam many times. We saw the lovely transplanted mountain goats that have been in the canyon for years now. Always a pleasure to see them. We were fortunate enough to come in June and got some cool weather to enjoy it all. Note: devils bathtub is not hot springs. lol. The canyon is super clean and facilities are all in great shape EXCEPT the vault toilets at Roughlock. They were the worst smelling things I have ever experienced. Please figure out something different. I wish I would have peed in a bush instead of going in there. Yuck!

As a group of 6 each one of us took a boatload of pictures of incredible images of rocks and animals and more. The tour itself was great, but Kare Bear made it a 10-star

This tour is not a GHOST TOUR, its a very informational tour about the history of deadwood,…read moreincluding Chinatown, The Adams, the minors. The tour guide gave a few very SHORT ghost stories but we did not enter any of the buildings, we could barely hear our tour guide she just talked over the incoming traffic she does not talk loud enough for big groups we all try to squeeze in as close as we can and we still had trouble hearing her. she didn't really seem to know what she was talking about as she looked down on her phone and directly read information from her phone. I feel like I could've searched up and read this information pretty easily if I wanted to it was not in depth at all it left us wondering a lot of questions, there was a lot of vague details. She mentioned a murder and when they buried the guy they left his new around his neck showed us a picture but did not explain why. She talked about wild Bill and his gravesite how it gets graffiti and vandalized but again did not tell me why and as a huge fan of wild Bill I would love to know why people think that's ok to do to his grave. I could've got more information out of the ghost adventures episode than this lady. they moved a bunch of bodies from the cemetery but again never explained why they did that leaving this tour I have more questions. To me it was not worth the price.

Bruce is as excellent tour guide! We took this tour on the Fourth of July and really enjoyed…read morelistening to the commentary as we drove through the Black Hills and Custer State Park. We made three stops, one and a half hours each. These stops were first at Mount Rushmore, next at Crazy Horse Memorial, and lastly at Custer where we also got to eat. Custer was busier than usual and we didn't get to eat where we wanted to because the wait was too long and we wouldn't have made it back to the bus in 90 minutes. Nevertheless, it was fun to be out there. After lunch we drove through Custer State Park and got to see a few more sights before driving back to the hotels in Keystone and Rapid City. We saw SO much in that one trip, and we learned so much from Bruce who really knows his history and has a fun way of sharing it.
