Visit Keystone SD
Pictures and Information

When you travel to the Black Hills, do not wait till the last day to visit Keystone, which is what we did. It is a great little town to spend some time just walking around and browsing all the cute little shops.

Town of Keystone

Keystone is a gold mining town, and is located southeast of Mount Rushmore, about 2 miles, nestled amongst some Ponderosa Pines.

Keystone, early morning

You can also take a train from Hill City to Keystone. We made a short movie on our last trip and included the train. We also stayed at the President's View hotel, which sits on top of the hill overlooking Keystone. Watch our video - Fun in the Black Hills
