The Black Hills Travel Blog

New Look for an Old Friend

Mount Rushmore

Welcome to the newly redesigned Black Hills Travel Blog. As you can see, it bears little resemblance to the old design.

We’ve rearranged the categories and added new features. We’ve added more links to sites of interest. It will also be easier to see more photos and videos of the Black Hills.

It’s easier to navigate, and easier to zero in on the topics of interest to you.

But as always, we’ll continue to file stories, comments and updates on what’s happening in the Black Hills, the Badlands and western South Dakota. We cover everything from the top of Harney Peak to the bottom of the Homestake Mine/Sanford Underground Lab.

If you have suggestions or comments, please post. We’d love to hear from you.

About the Author

Dan Daly is an on-again, off-again Black Hills resident since 1978. The Aberdeen native hit the road after high school, building houses in Boulder, working oil rigs on Colorado's Western Slope, delivering cars in California. In Wyoming and Idaho, he worked as a newspaper journalist. But the Black Hills kept luring him back. For 18 years, he wrote for the Rapid City Journal. The job gave him a chance to see the Hills from atop Mount Rushmore and the bottom of the Homestake Mine. Whenever possible, Dan grabs his dog Kody and heads to the Hills. These days, he's perfecting the art of low-impact backpacking: hike two hours to a scenic spot, break out the wine, cook up the pasta, watch the sunset and fall asleep under the stars.
