Beautiful Black Hills

VA Clinic in Hot Springs

Downtown Hot Springs

Use to be No 1 hotel, now a senior center

Hiking the grasslands trail

This one was not right on the road like some!

We drove south to Hot Springs along the edge of the Black Hills where the pararie grasslands meet the hills!  Then we rode back thru the Black Hills from Hot Springs to Custer State Park then back to Rapid City.  It was spectacular the whole way.  We hiked some trails along the way and it was even more magnificent on foot!


In Custer State Park we took a short hike thru the grasslands and learned how the trees and grasslands interrelate at the edge of the foothills.  Saw a number of buffalo, some just wondering down the side of the road.

It was a full day!  We left the RV about 9AM and returned about 9PM, exhausted but happy.  We took the next day off.
