My husband and I booked the "fantasy package" for each of us, which included a 60 minute massage and a facial. Both of us walked out of the spa saying it was the best massages we've ever had and we've had massages by a lot of different therapists through the years. Very relaxing, each massage therapist listened to each of our needs and customized the messages to what we wanted. Wonderful people, wonderful business, and amazing prices!
4. Mount Moriah Cemetery

Small cemetery dating back to the time of cowboys, deputies and the old West.
Reviewed By tawnyasojourn - Sedalia, United States
This is a most lovely cemetery built into the hills of Deadwood and you could easily spend a day here looking at stones and spending time with the fabulous views. There is a steep road leading up it that can be walked or you can drive. It is steep though so wear good shoes or drive and park. The cemetery is on the outskirts of Deadwood, off of the strip but proximal to it, and easy to find. You will find famous personalities headstones here including Wild Bill, Calamity Jane, Potato Creek Johnny, Seth Bullock, Preacher Smith, Madam Dora and others. The "not famous" tombstones are interesting as well. There is a Chinese section and a potter's field. Many of the stones have detailed Victorian carvings and symbolism. The cemetery is incredibly steep and NOT wheelchair accessible. I got to a few gravesites because my husband is strong and could push/pull me to those closest to the ticket booth. Bystanders helped too (thanks!!!). Tickets are $2 and there is a small gift shop with art and books. This graveyard is beautiful due to the stones and the trees and the wonderful views. It's a nice place to sit and think. I loved it. Some of the tour buses run here too but you still need to be able to walk to see the stones. Thank you Deadwood for maintaining and caring for this cemetery!

One of South Dakota's largest ski areas featres trails for snowmobiles.
Reviewed By 940crisw - Nebraska, United States
We've skied Colorado for years and didn't know what to expect from Terry Peak. It really is a gem tucked away in South Dakota. We were fortunate to have a foot of powder fall the first day we were there. There are just a few lifts and the runs are shorter but it is such an affordable place to ski. We only skied for 2 days which was the right amount for this resort. Highly recommend for an affordable quick ski trip
6. Adams House
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 479 reviews
The Historic Adams House was built in 1892 by Deadwood pioneers Harris and Anna Franklin. Local contemporary press described the home as "the grandest house west of the Mississippi." The elegant Queen Anne-style house heralded a wealthy and socially prominent new age for Deadwood, a former rough and tumble gold mining town. Harris and Anna Franklin’s son Nathan bought the house for $1 in 1905. In 1920, Nathan Franklin sold the house to W.E. and Alice Adams for $8,500. Adams' second wife Mary closed up the house in 1936, two years after W.E.'s death, leaving the contents and furnishings intact.
Reviewed By Rockabird - Beach Park, United States
This tour was low key but very informative about not only the house but the history of the original and subsequent owners of the house. It is a house that was owned by a very wealthy couple and it displayed the most modern and expensive accoutrements of the era. Rather fascinating.

This Saloon is typical of the old west and they have actors who give a good reenactment of the murder of Wild Bill, it was a fun place to get the feel of Deadwood's rough and tumble gold rush days.

Do yourself a favor and go see this hidden gem in the Black Hills! Seth Bullock had this tower built in honor of his best friend, President Roosevelt! When Seth died, he was buried facing it .... Clear across the town .....it's an easy hike to get to and you can climb to the top for a breathtaking view! Don't miss it

The Mineral Palace Casino was a pretty good place... it is located on the main street - therefore making the walk through town easy. There are lots of machines and the folks are friendly. Don't know how the rooms are - but we met some folks who were staying there and they were pleased with the accommodations.

This is the most incredible little town!! Lots of shops, museums and of course you must see the graves of Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane. It of course is a tourist town, but lots of fun to be had.
