Warrior's Work & Ben West Gallery

Warrior's Work & Ben West Gallery in Hill City is the creation of South Dakotans Randy Berger and his wife Janna Emmel. Our gallery began as Warrior's Work, dedicated to Native American art, and then expanded to Ben West Gallery to include other contemporary artists. We are proud to know all of our artists personally. They are people we respect and enthusiastically represent. Among the many beautiful pieces of flat art showcased in the gallery, there are also sculptures in bronze, stone, glass and wood. We also offer our own distinct style of men's and women's wear. Our 'gallery wardrobe' consists of high quality leather hats and jackets. We also feature hand-painted watches and bracelets. Our hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday.

Black Hills National Forest

The Black Hills cover an area that is 65 miles wide and 125 miles long. Most of the area is in western South Dakota, with a small part in northeastern Wyoming. There are 11 reservoirs, 30 campgrounds, 32 picnic areas, two scenic byways, two scenic overlooks, and 353 miles of trails within the forest. Both the Norbeck Wildlife Preserve and the Black Elk Wilderness are also part of the forest. Hiking, bicycling, fishing and horseback riding are among the many opportunities for outdoor recreation.

Hollingsworth Horses

Enjoy horseback riding in the Black Hills. All rides are personalized and we match the horse and rider to riding skills. We can accommodate groups of up to eight riders. Your ride is only with your group, not strangers. Our unique unguided riding is an option after riding the first hour with the wrangler and depends on your skill at controlling the horse. We are located near Custer in the southern Black Hills and are open year-round. Advance reservations are required.

Pageant Hill

Pageant Hill in Custer is known as the spot where the annual 4th of July fireworks are displayed. But, it's a busy place the rest of the year, too. From sledding in the winter to disc golf and hiking year-round, Pageant Hill is a great spot to enjoy the outdoors. The area is mostly heavily wooded with some rocky outcroppings. The park is primitive and the disc golf course is ungroomed. There is a shelter and portable toilets, but no drinking water. For more information, contact the Custer Chamber of Commerce.
