With the season winding down, it's a great time to squeeze in a ride on the Buffalo Hunt Coaster before things quiet down for the year. It's a fun stop for kids and adults alike between the history stops and the chuckwagon supper. Fort Hays still has plenty of energy left in September.

Fit it into your next Black Hills day. ๐ŸŽข

While Mount Rushmore was completed in 1941, the Crazy Horse Memorial is still being carved today, funded entirely through private donations with no federal money. It's a striking contrast between the two monuments and a story worth hearing in person. September's quieter crowds make it an easy add-on to your day.

Add Crazy Horse to your itinerary. ๐Ÿ—ป

Today we pause to honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the courage shown by so many in the hours and days that followed. Mount Rushmore has long stood as a symbol of what this country can be at its best: resilient, unified, and enduring. Wherever you are today, we hope you take a moment to reflect and remember.

September turns the prairie grasses in Custer State Park a deep gold โ€” one of the prettiest backdrops of the year.

More than 400 workers spent 14 years carving Mount Rushmore, many of them local miners and craftsmen from the Black Hills. Remarkably, no lives were lost during the carving itself, a point of pride Borglum himself often noted. Their work is part of the story our guides share on every tour.

Once Labor Day passes, the summer rush eases up and the Black Hills settle into a quieter rhythm. Trails, overlooks, and viewing areas all feel a little more spacious. It's one of our favorite stretches of the whole season.

Come experience the quieter side of the Black Hills. ๐ŸŒฒ
