We wouldn't think of vacationing in the Black Hills without visiting the Chapel. It is our number-one priority. Being Norwegian, we're prejudiced, to be sure. We've been there a number of times over the years and never get tired of the wonderful spot. Last week we were at the Black Hills for vacation, and we took in for the first... more

If you are visiting the Black Hills on a budget, this is a definate must see. Located in the western part of Rapid City, it tends to be quieter than most tourists attractions as well. If you are interested in old Europe it is worth it as well. more
