It will be mighty hot in the Badlands during the summer but probably not so bad at Crazy Horse, Mount Rushmore, etc. Hill City was beautiful.Linda LaRoquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16672522522233696282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4456337395840098707.post-71324455205667986952010-11-06T11:31:48.189-05:002010-11-06T11:31:48.189-05:00Man, these photos are awesome.

Larry and I need to get into some activities that get us moving. The places you mentioned sound beautiful and I guess it would take a person years to see all the sights in the Black Hills. The thought of alot of snow makes me shiver, though.Linda LaRoquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16672522522233696282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4456337395840098707.post-83702848397835670562010-10-27T09:07:05.162-05:002010-10-27T09:07:05.162-05:00Linda, I enjoyed reading your informative post abo...Linda, I enjoyed reading your informative post about Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse and the Needles Highway. Your wonderful photos of the area made me feel that if I didn't live here, I would be homesick for the Black Hills! During the off-season Sam and I get to play the tourist role, and one of the things we so appreciate about living here is the opportunity we have of hiking in places that would be crowded in summer. Horsethief Lake, near Mt. Rushmore, has a scenic boardwalk along one side of it - We walk the boardwalk and, when it ends, continue all the way around up through the campground, peaceful and quiet. Another hike we enjoy is the Needles Highway...beginning at Sylvan Lake where the gate to the highway is closed to vehicles in late fall and all winter. If we time it just right, we can cross-country ski on this world class highway and have it all to ourselves...imagine!! Several years ago we hiked from Sylvan Lake to Cathedral Spires and back, with our oldest granddaughter who was visiting during Spring Break...memories that bond us.Linda Brown, Mountains To Prairies BBhttp://www.mountainstoprairiesbb.com/blog_spot-hill_city-central-black_hills-south_dakota.htmlnoreply@blogger.com
