Why We Love This Unique Experience

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.

Helicopter Sightseeing Tour In Keystone

 This flight leaves our heliport (the only DOT approved and FAA recognized heliport in the Keystone Area) and follows Buckeye Gulch down to the old mining town of Keystone, past the mines to Iron Mountain and the infamous pig-tail bridges and back. After Iron Mountain, this flight continues up Grizzly Bear Creek into the Black Elk Wilderness, just east of the Cathedral Spires and below Black Elk Peak. After Black Elk Peak, we continue following the remote, majestic wilderness boundary into Sunday Gulch past the iconic Outlets at Sylvan Lake. This tour continues from Sylvan Lake and passes over Sylvan Peak on the way to Thunderhead Mountain and the Crazy Horse Memorial. After an up close and personal view of the Crazy Horse Memorial, and a flyover through the Custer State Park, the flight retraces the Needles’ Highway (SD HWY 87) Sylvan Lake Tour return. This 35-minute flight will check all the boxes for your trip to the Southern Black Hills; its everything you need to see in the Southern Black Hills.
