Black Hills Guidebook!
Custer Food and Brew
Best restaurant in the Black Hills, in our opinion. Make a reservation, it's limited seating but go hungry and splurge on an app, main course, and dessert. Not for picky eaters, limited menu but there's no wrong choice.

Black Hills Hikes
A great loop hike not far from Custer. When you park, take the trailhead near the sign, left side of the parking lot. You'll do a steep ascent and then gradually loop down into the canyon. Great views.
