Visit Custer SD
Pictures and Information
What great fun we had visiting Custer SD. This quaint little town is full of little shopping spots and fun things to do. In fact, we enjoyed spending more time here than the surrounding towns of Hill City and Deadwood.

North of Custer, on Mount Rushmore Road, it is very scenic, and the landscape is unique to the area, like these jagged rocks.
We liked the looks of the town of Custer, it is touristy, but not as intense as what is on the East Coast. Custer has lots of souvenier shops, which are fun to browse, especially the Black Hills Gold shops.

We stopped at Ken's Minerals Trading Post, on the way back to Custer Mountain Campground, and did some browsing, but didn't buy anything, even though they had some real cool rocks, especially the pink quartz. We also asked where we could go goldpanning at, and she recommended Thunder Gold Mine in Keystone, or Wades Gold Mill.
