“The Black Hills are an ideal place to spend a week, a fortnight or a whole summer,” says the booklet. “But for those who must pay the Hills only a fleeting visit,” tourists can visit the Black Hills as a part of one of Burlington’s escorted tours or take special, two- or three-day tours of the region.
