Customer Reviews

I carried it with me every day

Yes, there are some historical and geographical inaccuracies in this book, however as a trip guide it is comprehensive and quite helpful. I recently returned from a 6 day trip through the Black Hills, Badlands and Wyoming. The maps were helpful. The restaurant suggestions were excellent. I took several of the Day Trips recommended outside of the area and enjoyed all of them. If you have time check out Spearfish Canyon, Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary, Canyon Lake, and Chapel in the Hills. These were true highlights. I carried this book with me every day of my trip and frequently referred to it.

Good, focused guide

It arrived the day before we went on a 4-day car trip to western SD. As its title indicates it is focused only on the Black Hills and Badlands, so I relied on other guidebooks for info on places like Sioux City and Mitchell. It has interesting historical tidbits and the info was plenty accurate. What more can one ask from a guide book?
