Add this drive to your bucket list!

This is Needles Highway - maybe the most scenic drive in South Dakota. This is such an incredible experience driving through winding roads in the Black Hills with amazing views and granite spires.

💰There is a $20 fee for Custer State Park to do the drive, but the pass is good for a week.

🚙The drive will take anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours depending on how much you want to stop and check things out.

🐐We saw some animals and you may too! We saw a Marmot and some goats.

‼️There are height and width restrictions

-Needles Eye Tunnel- 8’0” Wide/9’9” High

-Iron Creek Tunnel - 8’9” Wide/10’10” High

Needles Highway is renowned for its magnificent views and unique geological features, making it a top destination for road trippers and nature enthusiasts. The winding paths through the Black Hills provide not only dramatic scenery but also a chance to spot local wildlife, including mountain goats and marmots. The drive spans approximately 14 miles and connects Custer State Park to Mount Rushmore, making it perfect for a full day of exploration. Along the route, drivers will encounter striking landmarks such as the Needles Eye Tunnel and the Iron Creek Tunnel, which present some height and width restrictions, ensuring that larger vehicles should plan accordingly. Advance planning can enhance the driving experience; consider visiting early in the day to avoid crowds and fully embrace the serene landscape. For those seeking photographic opportunities, golden hours at sunrise or sunset offer breathtaking backdrops for memorable pictures. Additionally, don't forget to pack a picnic to enjoy at one of the scenic overlooks. By adding Needles Highway to your travel itinerary, you're ensuring an adventure filled with unforgettable sights and experiences that embody the beauty of South Dakota.
