Can you believe it! The best Chinese food we've ever had found at a hole in the wall restaurant in Belle Fourche, SD. About 15 minutes away. The inside and outsidde building are not much to look at, but the food is outstanding and reasonably priced. My favorite - pot stickers and egg drop soup. They do take out.

Bring your ATV, snowmobile, mountain bike, road bike, or hiking shoes. You can park your ATV trailers at our house and take off from there. Take off from our house and connect with more than a thousand miles of trails around the Black Hills. My favorite road bike trip is up Spearfish Canyon. A gentle steady climb, but a great ride back. The Mickelson Trail is a famous hiking/mountain bike/cross bike trail. The trailhead is about 30 minutes away. Go to mapmyhike.com South Dakota - Spearfish for great hiking trails. If bringing an ATV, make sure you have the appropriate tags and Forest Service Trail permits. You can also rent ATV's from numerous places around Spearfish and the Hills.

I would see this from the road and read about it on the internet. I think it is disappointing for what you pay to get in. However, the head of Crazy Horse is pretty amazing!
