Hot Springs, SD

united states

Hot Springs is a small Black Hills town where US Highway 18 meets Highway 385, about an hour south of Rapid City. The scenic route down from Custer through the hills is the most popular approach for tourists, while locals use Highway 18 for trips to nearby communities. The town's natural hot springs create a unique warm microclimate and feed the historic Evans Plunge, which maintains a constant 87-degree temperature year-round.
