Some of the most incredible roads anywhere make up the Peter Norbeck National Scenic Byway in the Black Hills of western South Dakota. Mix in the tale of Robin Hood's Shurwood Forest at the Black Hills Playhouse and top it off with the evening lighting of America’s most patriotic monument along the way and you have a never-to-be-forgotten road trip.

The Needles Highway climbs around fantastic granite pinnacles that are a favorite with rock climbers from across the globe. Twisting and turning between the Needles and through a tight tunnel/crack in the rock, this portion of the byway leads to picturesque Sylvan Lake. From here we turn south and then east to visit more of Custer State Park
