Overview

This isn’t tourism—this is rebellion on four wheels.

The Black Sheep Tour is your passport to the untamed side of the Black Hills, custom-built for travellers who crave realness, not rehearsals. While others stick to the pavement and follow a script, we veer off into forest-lined backroads, gravel paths, and dirt ribbons that wind through hidden canyons and forgotten meadows. These routes go where the wildlife is plentiful, the silence is golden, and the Black Hills speak in their rawest voice.

You won’t wait in long lines for 15-minute viewpoints or jostle for space with motorcoaches. You'll get time to linger, a guide who knows the land, and stories that bring the scenery to life.

Our tour follows no template. We adapt based on lighting, wildlife movements, and your curiosity. We start when the timing is right for the land, not for the crowd. Want to stop to watch a bison herd cross the valley? We’ll stop. Want to get out and breathe in the view from a lonely overlook? You got it.

Activity itinerary

Iron Mountain Road
  • 40m
  • Admission ticket included
Now, you might be wondering why big buses aren't allowed on Iron Mountain Road. Well, let's say that this road wasn't built for vehicles the size of small houses! Iron Mountain Road isn't just a road; it's a thrilling adventure through some of South Dakota's most spectacular landscapes. But it's not just the vistas that make Iron Mountain Road so special—it's the journey itself. You'll traverse iconic pigtail bridges that loop and elevate you to the top of Iron Mountain. These bridges aren't just engineering marvels; they remind us of the ingenuity and spirit of exploration that defines the Black Hills. And let's not forget about the Norbeck Overlook, where you can pause to take in the majestic beauty of the surrounding wilderness. From this vantage point, you'll feel like you're on top of the world. Our cosy, comfortable vehicles are the perfect way to experience all the thrills and beauty that Iron Mountain Road offers.
Sage Creek Wilderness Area
  • 10m
  • Admission ticket included
Sage Creek Wilderness Area is a rugged and pristine section within the Badlands National Park, offering visitors a unique and immersive experience in the heart of the park's striking landscape. Here's a description: Nestled within the expansive Badlands National Park, the Sage Creek Wilderness Area is a hidden gem that beckons adventurers seeking solitude and a deeper connection with nature. This designated wilderness area is characterised by its vast, undulating prairies, dramatic eroded buttes, and an abundance of native flora and fauna.
Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
One of the most iconic roads in the country. We'll wind our way through 1000-foot limestone cliffs, Iron and Spearfish Creek, Mountain Goats, big spruce, along with valleys and canyons.
Peter Norbeck Scenic Byway
  • 2m
  • Admission ticket included
If this is one of your checklist roads, we've got it covered. Timing is key, and we'll visit the Needles Highway (Peter Norbeck Scenic Byway) at the right moment. The rocks glow, most visitors are gone, and the animals come out to play. This road climbs a mountain, reveals an abundance of secrets and never disappoints.
Loop Road
  • 3m
  • Admission ticket included
The Badlands is our favourite location. Back roads, vistas, and wildlife abound here. Sunsets are incredible, and golden hour is outstanding. The road designs are like no other, and the vistas—well, they are something even the most expensive camera cannot capture.
