The name “Black Hills” comes from the Lakota words Paha Sapa, which means “hills that are black.” When seen from a distance, these pine-covered hills appear black and rise several thousand feet above the surrounding prairie.

Located in western South Dakota and northeastern Wyoming, this national forest consists of 1.2 million acres of forested hills and mountains, approximately 110 miles long and 70 miles wide.
