Over the Hills & Beyond the Imagination
A two hour and fifteen minute round trip
through
the scenic Black Hills
Imagine yourself immersed in the staggering beauty
of the Black Hills of Western South Dakota! Imagine

a vintage steam train, like those that helped

Located
near Mt. Rushmore National Monument and Crazy

the bellow of the engine and the whine of the
whistle as it winds its way through the scenic
hills between Hill City and Keystone... and back
again.
