Black Elk Peak Loop, located in Custer State Park, South Dakota
Just because it’s winter, this doesn’t mean that we should discount Custer State Park, as winter is probably the time when South Dakota is at its brightest. Also known as Harney Peak, Black Elk is at top of our list of the best hiking trails in the state.
There are many reasons for that, but some of the most important is that the old fire lookout tower comes with a 360-degree view. Besides that, it’s also one of the most inspiring choices if you really want to catch a spectacular sunrise in South Dakota.
We’d only advise you to remember that the hike is nearly eight miles long, and it can be a bit tricky in some areas, so you might want to be careful when you’re hiking the Black Elk, especially during the winter.
