The Black Hills is a memorable destination that often becomes tradition from one generation to the next. This easy-to-read, fact-filled guide describes over 150 attractions arranged by theme. It will complement your explorations of the region.
This book is a nice overview of the Black Hills and Badlands sites and attractions. Many travel guides are organized geographically; this one groups places to see by theme, such as all caverns in one chapter.
The book was a nice way to get an overview of the area with overwhelming the reader. I would suggest adding a Lonely Planet or similar guidebook if you want more detail, walking maps, or more background about each place.
I only gave this book 2 stars because it did not give very good directions. For instance, Devil's Tower just outside the S. Dakota border in Wyoming....we have a GPS and would have LOVED the correct directions, but alas we were able to follow the road signs easily:)
