Overview

This isn’t tourism—this is rebellion on four wheels.

The Black Sheep Tour is your passport to the untamed side of the Black Hills, custom-built for travelers who crave realness, not rehearsals. While some stick to the pavement and follow a script, we veer off into forest-lined backroads, gravel paths, and dirt ribbons that wind through hidden canyons and forgotten meadows. These routes go where the wildlife is plentiful, the silence is golden, and the Black Hills speak in their rawest voice.

You won’t wait in long lines for 15-minute viewpoints or jostle for space with motorcoaches. You'll get time to linger, a guide who knows the land, and stories that bring the scenery to life.

Our tour follows no template. We adapt based on lighting, wildlife movements, and your curiosity. We start when the timing is right for the land, not for the crowd. Want to stop to watch a bison herd cross the valley? We’ll stop. Want to get out and breathe in the view from a lonely overlook? You got it.

What To Expect

Iron Mountain Road

This road is famous for tunnels, bridges, and amazing views of Mount Rushmore. It winds through the forest gently, never rushing. Wildlife like deer, bison, and even elk sometimes appear along the way. We take our time. We stop for photos. We let the place sink in. To me, it’s one of the best drives in America.

Black Hills National Forest

The Black Hills feel alive. Pines cover rolling hills, streams flow clear, and the air smells clean. Animals roam freely here. Deer, mountain goats, wild turkeys—you never know what you’ll see. We pause often to take it all in. It’s peaceful, beautiful, and always feels welcoming. My favorite part is showing people quiet spots off the main roads.

Peter Norbeck Scenic Byway

Needles Highway feels unreal. Narrow tunnels cut through granite. Tall rock spires point toward the sky like giant fingers. It’s an adventure to drive, and views appear out of nowhere. Goats and deer often cross our path. When we reach the top, guests say it’s unforgettable. And even after dozens of trips, I still think so too.

Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway

This canyon is like driving through a postcard. Huge cliffs rise up around you. Waterfalls tumble down rocky slopes. Each season brings new colors and sights. It’s perfect for slow driving, picture-taking, and feeling small in a good way. Guests tell me it’s one of their favorite places—and I totally agree.
