Rapid City Experience Gifts: See the Crazy Horse Memorial from the air during an incredible Black Hills Private Helicopter Flight from Keystone.
During this awe-inspiring 40-Minute Helicopter Sightseeing Flight over the Black Hills, you’ll get to witness the outstanding beauty of the South Dakota wilderness. Taking off from a heliport in Keystone just a 25-minute drive from Rapid City, your exciting adventure across the Black Hills will begin with a fly over of semi-ghost mining town Montezuma, where the remains of wooden shacks and cabins can be spotted from the air. You’ll see many more impressive sights as you glide across Iron Mountain with its twisting bridges, along dramatic creeks and soar over the towering rock formations of Black Elk, all on your journey to beautiful Sylvan Lake. Marvel at the lake’s unusual rock wall before reaching the real highlight of your tour when you sweep past the famous Crazy Horse Memorial of an Oglala Lakota warrior, currently under construction and considered to be the new eighth wonder of the world. Enjoy 40-minutes of jaw-dropping, panoramic views of this area of spectacular, unspoiled wilderness.
This Helicopter Tour of the Black Hills is the perfect way to explore South Dakota and would make a unique and much treasured gift for any occasion.
