Crow Peak Brewing Company
"Crow Peak Brewing Company started in the spring of 2007 as a modest 5-barrel brewery with on-premise sales in the form of pints and off-premise sales in the form of 64-ounce growlers. The brewery was extremely successful, now distributing its products in South Dakota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming and Minnesota. With two additional fermentation vessels and one additional bright beer tank, we are now able to produce approximately 5,000 barrels annually."

Elkhorn Ridge Golf Club
"Located on the historic Frawley Ranch in western South Dakota, Elkhorn Ridge Golf Club is a modern 18-hole championship layout. The front nine is nestled on the side of a mountain, giving way to incredible views of the Centennial Valley, while the back nine winds through the Polo Creek Canyon and its rock wall backdrops. Golf Digest ranked Elkhorn Ridge the number one public golf course in South Dakota."
Historic Downtown Deadwood
"The discovery of gold in the southern Black Hills in 1874 set off one of the great gold rushes in America. In 1876, miners moved into the northern Black Hills. That’s where they came across a gulch full of dead trees and a creek full of gold and Deadwood was born. Practically overnight, the tiny gold camp boomed into a town that played by its own rules that attracted outlaws, gamblers and gunslingers along with the gold seekers. You’ll find modern-day casinos, resort hotels, full-service spas, big name concerts, and some of the best parties in the entire United States. Come walk in the footsteps of our legends and make history in Deadwood. We’ve been entertaining guests since 1876."

Andy's Horseback Trail Rides
“Andy has been on horseback since he was old enough to walk, and started leading trail rides at the age of nine, from his family’s dude ranch near Waterloo, Iowa. He’ll lead you on a real trail ride, up secluded elk trails that wind around wooded mountain terrain. As the horses wind their way through stands of trees, over fallen logs and across creeks, they head to the mountain peak for breathtaking 85-mile view!"

Devils Tower National Monument
“The Tower is an astounding geologic feature that protrudes out of the prairie surrounding the Black Hills. It is considered sacred by Northern Plains Indians and indigenous people. Hundreds of parallel cracks make it one of the finest crack climbing areas in North America. Devils Tower entices us to learn more, explore more and define our place in the natural and cultural world.”
Badlands National Park
“The rugged beauty of the Badlands draws visitors from around the world. These striking geologic deposits contain one of the world’s richest fossil beds. Ancient horses and rhinos once roamed here.
