Trails

We live in Hill City in the middle of the Black Hills. Im not sure what type of wheeling you are looking to do but you could contact bh4wheelers.com for info. There are some more difficult trails out of the Deadwood area. Mostly rock crawling. I have not had my Raptor on these trails. There are numerous Forest service roads with trails off them in the Hill City area. I believe you can also get a map from the Forest service. Dakotacruisers is a local Toyota group that may also help you out. You could check out the Badlands for more desert style wheeling. When are you thinking of coming out? You can email me if you need more info (lodging, places to see, etc) @[email protected]. I hope its OK to this info.

I'm planning on be out there in a couple weeks. We are staying in custer. I do have the trail maps for the black hills, but there are a ton of trails. One guy I talked to suggested hat mountain, which he highlighted on my map. Another guy suggested indian creek by the badlands. To many trails to pick from. I will just have to pick one and go for it. I took my family to fort pierre national grass land. Was nothing out there but grass, but was alot of fun. Got the raptor up to 75mph and possible some air. I guess I'm not into rock crawling yet. Thank you for the info. I'm not sure how many raptors are in the area, but it would be cool to get a south dakota raptor run going. Like the texas raptor run. That looked like fun.

Just an update, I contacted Dakotacruisers and bh4wheelers.com. With no response. Dakota jeeps responed, but wanted more info on what kind of trails I am looking for. He did mention alot of the trails are good, but he is worried about the width of the raptor not "fitting" on the trails? Have not heard back on the second response. I will be out there next week for the family vacation. Nothing else I'm just going to wing it!

one thing about the black hills is the scenery so might be a bit slower pace but to get together with other raptor owners is what's the cool part talking in person about mods and the truck only raptor owners really know what a raptor can do unless some one has had a ride in one or drove one.

So I'm guessing you drive through Buffalo when you go home, Ironside? That's my hometown. I live in Dickinson now. Lived in Rapid and Spearfish several years ago.
