Mount Roosevelt, Deadwood SD

Close to Deadwood, Mt Roosevelt is a short scenic hike. It has views of Bear Butte to the east, Bear Lodge mountains to the north west, North Dakota to the North, and Terry Peak, Custer Peak, Harney Peak, Lead and Deadwood to the south. Just a great hike in the Black Hills National Forest.

It is also home to the Friendship Monument. conceived by Seth Bullock and built by the Society of Black Hills Pioneers as a memorial for Theodore Roosevelt. Dedicated July 4th, 1919.

Directions from Deadwood, Take 85 North for about a mile, turn left on Mt Roosevlet Rd(the turn for Lodge at Deadwood). Follow Mt Roosevelt road until you get there. I don't think the road is maintained in the winter, so it is a fair weather drive.

@TheSbuttress glad you enjoyed it... driving fast adds to the excitement lol. I'll have to do some videos about the Southern Black Hills.

From your buddies on the Rankin Ridge Trail.......cool tour of Roosevelt site. We'll have to make when we're in the northern Hills. But you drive too fast.
