Hello blog world! Can you believe that it's the end of April, and that May and more importantly SUMMER are right around the corner? Where has the beginning of 2011 gone? With the warmer weather approaching, I am getting very excited about the outdoor activities that are available living here in the beautiful Black Hills. There are so many opportunities for students at Black Hills State University to enjoy their surroundings that are both free (ALL college students love free stuff, right?!) and fun.
Black Hills State University is located in beautiful Spearfish, SD, the hub of the Northern Black Hills with a population of around 12,000. Located on I-90, 10 minutes from the Wyoming border, Spearfish is only 46 miles from Rapid City, 65 miles from Mount Rushmore National Memorial and is an hour drive from Devils Tower and the Badlands of South Dakota. Spearfish Canyon, one of the oldest and most scenic canyons in the west, is a local favorite for hiking, biking and sightseeing. A beautiful hike, or even a scenic drive is just a few miles away from campus, in beautiful Spearfish Canyon!
There are tons of other outdoor recreation opportunities around BHSU besides hiking in Spearfish Canyon, including rock climbing, canoeing, kayaking, biking, fishing, and much more! What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon away from studying! Just another perk that BHSU has to offer :).
All of these outdoor activities are right around the corner, and I personally can't wait! See you in the beautiful Black Hills!
GO JACKETS!
