SDSM&T is located at the foot of the beautiful
Black Hills, twenty minutes from Mount Rushmore,
in Rapid City, South Dakota’s second largest
city. Rapid City has a relatively mild climate,
and the Black Hills region offers numerous
opportunities for summer and winter outdoor
experiences. For more information regarding
Rapid City visit
www.rapidcity.com.
Come for the learning, but you'd be remiss not
to enjoy the beautiful Black Hills and the many
opportunities offered. Some of the best
rock climbing in the world can be found in the
Needles section of the Black Hills. Harney
Peak is the highest point east of the Rockies
and a hike to the top offers world class vistas.
Enjoy a short hike behind Sylvan Lake, an outing
with friends to Crazy Horse or Mt. Rushmore
monuments, or join a spelunking group and
explore one of the many caves in the region.
One of the best trout fishing streams in the
country runs right through the heart of Rapid
City and is a short walk from campus. If
outdoor activities is your thing, Rapid City and
the Black Hills can't be beat for summer and
winter outdoor experiences for refreshing the
body and spirit.
