There\u2019s a lot of history, vistas of purple mountain majesty, and just a touch of cynicism buried here. Not quite miner’s gold, but darn close. So take off yer boots, pull up a chair, and come with us to visit some of the quieter spots in the Black Hills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ll find a few untraveled trails, a look back at South Dakota’s mining lore, routes to a few hidden oases of truth. If you ever spent a sunset hour, perched on the terrace of the Old Palmer Gulch Lodge, you’ll hear the distant bells of horses run out to pasture in these pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
