South Dakota High Point: Black Elk Peak via Willow Creek Hike Trail Guide

[@calvinross6866]

Just did this hike a month back or so. Beautiful hike with just the right amount of physical effort. My knee and shoulders (from my pack) could've used a little more conditioning but it was a great one none the less.

Been wanting to head out that way for a while and get some footage for my own channel! Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!

Trail 4 from Sylvan Lake has more people but you can do Little Devils Tower in the same loop which has a little bit of easy scrambling if you want some action.

It will always be Harney peak to me. We go up every time we are in the black hills.

3:22 is Elkhorn Mountain, maybe the hardest to summit in the black hills

I've hiked the area many times, it used to be even more pretty before the beetles and fires.

Have you encountered many ticks on your hikes,treks and climbs? Just curious, from back east and it is a total barrage of diseased bloodsuckers.

James Dorsheimer not out west but def out east. In Colorado they aren’t nearly as prevalent as the white mountains or green mountains.
