THREE DAY TREK
If you've got the time, we've got the places. Spend your first day east of the Missouri River, discovering a history that pre-dates statehood. Then cross from the fertile farmlands into rangelands. Camp on the shores of the beautiful Missouri River. Wherever you go, you can be assured of peace and beauty. A third day will take you across the Rosebud and Pine Ridge Indian Reservations and into the majestic beauty of the Black Hills themselves.

FIVE DAY FURLOUGH
Slip into the unhurried by-ways of America's heartland. Sail on a lake. Loop into the Missouri River breaks where the deer and the antelope really do play. Take in a Powwow. Visit local museums and parades. Attend a softball game. See a rodeo.
Check out the links to Communities, and make sure to write or call ahead so you can absorb as much of the local flavor as possible. There is always more to see on the Oyate Trail.
