Welcome to the Black Hills!
In September 1935, Frank Lloyd Wright visited the Northern Black Hills and described the stunning beauty of Spearfish Canyon, saying, "But how is it that I've heard so little of this miracle and we, toward the Atlantic, have heard so much of the Grand Canyon when this is even more miraculous?" We couldn’t agree more—Spearfish Canyon is just the beginning of what makes this region extraordinary.
