Rocker Trail
When you're at South Dakota Mines, getting out and exploring is encouraged. We're located in close proximity to Mount Rushmore and outdoors activities in the Black Hills (think skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and hiking) and Badlands National Park in addition to shopping, restaurants, theater, and arts in Rapid City, the second largest city in South Dakota.
