Hill City, SD

We left Mitchell, SD yesterday, Monday May 26, and drove I-90W across South Dakota to Rapid City. Here’s a scenery shot from I-90.



From Rapid City we went south about 30 miles to Hill City which is near Mt. Rushmore and Custer State Park. We checked in here for two nights and woke this morning to at least an inch of snow on the ground.



We spent all morning riding around the area - The Needles Highway, Custer State Park, and the 18-mile Wildlife Loop. With all the snow it was like driving through a winter wonderland, although the roads were clear.





Saw an old high school buddy on the wildlife loop


We went to Mt. Rushmore, but didn’t stop - the mountain was all fogged in and the sculpture was invisible. Tomorrow it’s on to North Dakota.
