This scenic 19-mile drive in the Black Hills that passes cliffs, waterfalls and the Spearfish Creek gives one the feeling they are in the rainforest.
Reviewed By yowsah1 - Lansing, United States
This drive had it all: Tree-covered mountains, picturesque waterfalls and streams, dramatic rock formations, wildlife sightings, the works! It seemed like there was something breathtaking around each bend. There were many spots where you could pull off the road - great for shutterbugs or those wishing to get a closer view of things. A rubberneckers delight!

7. High Plains Western Heritage Center Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 100 reviews
Features a 5-State Regional Museum founded to honor the Old West Pioneers and American Indians of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming and Montana. Western Artifacts, Western Art, Live Animals and Family History Displays are used as a determinant of Historical Events.

Very interesting museum with lots of history and artifacts from mid-1800's on describing the cattle drive / industry in late 1800's, rodeo history, pioneering life on the high plains, and much more. There is a small exhibit about Native Americans in the area, however, I wish it was more complete and balanced. I wish it would highlight the tragedy of the displacement of the native population and taking over of their lands. Information of the Battle of Little Big Horn is one-sided and should give the view of the battle from the indigenous people's perspective.

9. Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway

It only takes a couple of hours to drive the byway but you will want to get out of your car to admire the beauty of the area. Short hikes on well maintained trails take you to Spearfish and Roughlock Falls while Bridal Veil Falls is located right on the byway and is visible from your vehicle. We saw a sign directing us to something called The Devil's Bathtub but after a 15 minute hike along the creek, we discovered it was on private land and opted not to continue.
10. Termesphere Gallery
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 76 reviews
Dick Termes is an internationally acclaimed artist whose work is recognized from New York to Tokyo. Termes spends several months painting spherical canvases know as Termespheres. These unique, mind-bending works of art are unlike anything you’ve ever seen. In the Black Hills, you have the opportunity to visit the largest collection of Termespheres in the world. The Termesphere Gallery can be found in one of four geodesic domes nestled in a valley just outside of Spearfish, South Dakota. Once inside, you can’t help but marvel as several dozen of his intricate worlds hang and rotate before your very eyes. “His art is magnificent and like nothing that I’ve ever seen before. We actually spent longer there than intended because it’s so interesting and beautiful.”

I love taking out of state visitors to enjoy our termespheres. My brother and his wife purchased a globe from Termes and now they can show their west coast friends our treasures. I do enjoy my globe very much.
