This backpacking trip was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend it. In less than 24 hours, we were able to drive from Rapid City to the Badlands, backpack to our camping spot, enjoy an evening with no one around us, and return to Rapid City.
2019 marks 30 years since the Centennial Trail was established so we thought “We’re supposed to know all about hiking in the Black Hills. It’s probably about time that we hike this thing.” With that in mind, we needed to decide how we were going to do it.
