Exploring the Black Hills and Badlands : a guide for hikers, cross- country skiers and mountain bikers

"Exploring the Black Hills and Badlands" features trips for hikers, skiers, mountain bike riders and equestrians. This fully revised edition has been expanded to include every hiking trail in the region, offering more than 800 miles of trails and off-trail routes to explore. The guide features all new, up-to-date USGS topographical maps, including nearly a dozen new to this edition. Another new addition is a section focusing on family hikes and other information useful to family groups. What is unchanged is the wealth of interesting history, tips on multi-use activities, and keen insights into the region’s natural and geologic features that have made "Exploring the Black Hills and Badlands" the most useful and valuable year-round guide to this stunningly beautiful and vastly popular region. The Black Hills and Badlands are growing in popularity with recreation enthusiasts all the time, with increased visitation every year. Over the six years since the publication of this valuable guide, author Hiram Rogers has repeatedly revisited this stunning region and followed the development of new trails and recreation opportunities. The result is this fully updated edition of one of our very successful backlist books.

The original edition of Exploring the Black Hills and Badlands provided the only detailed coverage of the 115-mile Centennial Trail, and now the revised version includes all of the results of the major relocation project in the Northern Black Hills. Also featured is the just-completed 110-mile George S. Mickelson rails-to-trails conversion. This information is not available in any other guidebook. Of further value to the new edition is the addition of a section focusing on family hikes and other information useful to family groups.
