RV CAN'T GO THERE TOUR (3 HRS)

Because of the steep switchbacks and low-clearance tunnels found along the Needles and Iron Mtn Road Open-Top-Tours offers this tour to ensure "big rig" owners don't miss out on the most iconic views.
This 3-hour journey captures the absolute highlights of the Peter Norbeck National Scenic Byway, a route celebrated for its engineering marvels and stunning Black Hills scenery.  
This Journey Highlights include: 
  •  Needles Highway (SD-87): Famous for its granite pillars and the iconic Needle’s Eye rock formation. You’ll navigate tight turns and the narrow Iron Creek Tunnel
  • Iron Mountain Road (US-16A): This stretch is home to the famous pigtail bridges—corkscrew structures designed to drop elevation quickly—and three tunnels that perfectly frame Mount Rushmore in the distance.
  • Cathedral Spires: A designated National Natural Landmark featuring towering granite needles that are a favorite for both photographers and hikers.
  • The Lakes: You'll visit Sylvan Lake, often called the "crown jewel" of Custer State Park for its reflective waters and boulder shoreline, and the historic Stockade Lake.
And some backcountry exploration: A drive along Palmer Creek Road offers a more rugged, off-the-beaten-path look at the local wilderness and wildlife.
