Black Hills Guidebook!
Custer Food and Brew
Best restaurant in the Black Hills, in our opinion. Make a reservation, it's limited seating but go hungry and splurge on an app, main course, and dessert. Not for picky eaters, limited menu but there's no wrong choice.

Black Hills Hikes
A great loop hike not far from Custer. When you park, take the trailhead near the sign, left side of the parking lot. You'll do a steep ascent and then gradually loop down into the canyon. Great views.

Steep start, but not too long. Incredible views, if you look closely at the spires you may see some mountain goats!
