Summary: "Boring"

Basic one paragraph summaries of various sights and scenes. If your a family or car camper going here for the weekend this might be fine. However if your like me and want to plan hikes, or get some fishing in don't buy it. There are better alternatives. This is aimed at the corny angle of the Black Hills, and features many things that I wish I didn't need to know. None of the private zoo's featured in this book are AZA certified, and as such have a number of shady event's in there past that they have not atoned to (Bear Country USA for example and their bear slaughter). Avoid this book and make your own path. Talk to the locals. Visit the various Chamber of Commerce that dot the area. You'll have more fun that way, and have better memories. The Black Hill's isn't a weekend trip, but a lifetime trip.

Summary: "Great Guide for a Great Vacation"

The Black Hills is our family's favorite vacation spot and this book was very helpful even though we have been there many times before. I learn something every time I pick it up. Well worth buying as you plan your time in the 'hills.

Summary: "The Perfect Family Guidebook"

I looked at several guidebooks for South Dakota before our vacation this summer. I choose this one and one other. This was the only guidebook I needed. It has all the important details, and very clear descriptions of the attractions. It's small enough to carry easily but large enough to tell you everything you need to know.

Summary: "Book was very useful"

We just returned from a trip to South Dakota about a month ago. We took this book along. It was very useful in explaining the details of various places to visit. I would definitely recommend this book to a tourist visiting the area. And by the way, South Dakota (Mount Rushmore area) was wonderful. Make sure to spend some time in Custer State Park.
