I came here for a vacation 25 years ago and move here 3 months later. I can't imagine living anywhere more beautiful and there's always something to see and do. I live in the middle of town and have seen wildlife (deer, turkeys, porcupines and mountain lions) from my porch. As you can see in the video the weather is always changing and the winters mild and short lived! That you fir highlighting our little piece of heaven!

My wife and I lived there (well, mainly Black Hawk) from 2018-2021 untilI lost my job. Lived the dream for 3 1/2 years, had 6 acres and a cabin, it was heaven. But we moved back east to be closer to family as they get older, and it was really hard to find a job in Rapid in my line of work. When we're retired I hope we can live up there again RV style in the summer/fall. The Black Hills get in your soul. Spent many days riding in the woods or hunting early mornings, hearing the wind blow through the trees.

My wife and I spent a week in this glorious area about a year ago. Highlight for us was staying at Spearfish Lodge in Spearfish Canyon. Enjoyed Deadwood , Mt Rushmore, Custer State Park and the Black Hills. Planning on a return trip to stay at the Lodge. One of my favorite parts of America. Thanks for the video.

I remember the devastating flood in Rapid City in 1972 that killed several hundred people. Most of the devastation was along Rapid creek. Since the flood, there was no rebuilding along the creek other than the park and a memorial. Rapid City is a beautiful town. I have been binge watching your videos since I discovered you on you tube. You do a beautiful job with the arial drone shots and the quality is outstanding. I've enjoyed the ride!

There is a memorial for that flood at Story Book Island I believe, along with remnants of the old park. I lived on Sheridan Lake Road (and several others in Rapid City) as a child in a house that is no longer there. I loved watching this video as well. I haven't lived there in over 23 years, but I was just there this June and was able to show my family all the same sites. One of the houses I grew up in was just down the road from the entrance to Skyline Drive (the road that takes you up to Dinosaur Hill). Just as you make the final left turn up the hill towards the parking lot, where that nice house is, use to be completely empty. There is a large rock formation we use to climb on and ride our bikes to. Really miss it.

My parents drove through Rapid City that night in 1972. They looked for a place to pitch a tent and, after finding all the campgrounds full, drove on to Wyoming. When they reached their destination, their friends all told them about the flood and about how worried they were. I'm here today because my parents couldn't find a place to pitch a tent. All three campgrounds they stopped at were completely washed away. .. I've been a resident of this great city for almost a decade now. There are very few places I'd rather be.

I actually lived in Rapid City for several years. One weekend I decided to look at every presidential statue. Took several hours to complete the task. I actually uploaded all 43 pictures to Google maps. The Dinosaur Park features every dinosaur fossil that has been found in the Black Hills. Main Street Square and the downtown area was my favorite part of the city. The park system along Rapid Creek was a result of the 1972 flood. One of my favorite activities in the summer was driving to Hill City and taking the 1880 Train from Hill City to Keystone and spend the day going to all the shops and restaurants.

Attorney Charles Buell bought it in 1901, renamed it established his law firm on the second floor. For a time, the building was home to the National Weather Bureau. (A weather flag on the roof told residents the forecast.) The distinctive Russo-Byzantine dome, built by local craftsman from a copper-covered wooden mould, made this building a downtown landmark. Originally this was a much smaller building -- three more sections were added along Seventh Street by 1925.

Nice looking city. I know someone who's moving there in the near future. It looks like a peaceful place to live. I'm glad George is in front of Starbucks, he can pop in for a cup of coffee. Coffee use to be referred to as a cup of George, not Joe as it currently is.

Hey ! My Favorite city in SD ( I lived in Nemo for a year) you may have driven past "home" if you went from Deadwood to Rapid🤔 I see you were in Sturgis ( best VA hospital in SD in my opinion) 😮 we may have passed each other in our travels. Vanocker canyon was an Awesome motorcycle ride. More than a week to see it All
