This Trail was orignially called Harney Peak, it has a gorgeous trail with a cool stone tower at the top! Checkout out the hiking ratings on alltrails.com. Spend the whole day in Hill City and hit up Alpine Inn for dinner and Prairie Berry for wine tasting!

This is one of the best trails to hike in the area. It takes about 3 hours up and down, but the views are amazing at the top and the old lookout is fun to explore.

Highest point in Rapid City. Just under 7miles, out and back. Great view- heavily trafficked.

The highest summit east of the Rocky Mountains, Black Elk Peak (formerly Harney Peak) is one of the best hikes in the Black Hills! If you have the time and the energy, you won't want to miss it. And, if an excellent hike featuring a 5-state view isn't enough, the most popular trail starts at magnificent Sylvan Lake.

Another popular hike in Custer State Park... formerly called Harney Peak. The trailhead is right by beautiful Sylvan Lake!
