How much time is enough in the Black hills to see al the attractions in the area? We're not in a hurry but don't want to reserve a week and be bored after 3 days. Will be going what is probably Memorial day week and therefore the reservations.
As others have pointed out, there's much to see in the Black Hills area. Depending on where you'll be based, you can explore the northern part of the BH around Sturgis/Lead/Deadwood area, the central area around Hill City and Mt Rushmore (just in this central area, there's much to see and do) and the south area around Custer SP, and Hot Springs. There's really a LOT to see and do in each area, that a week doesn't do any of the areas justice, to experience all you can.
And that doesn't even factor in that there's a lot to see and do in Rapid City as well. One can take a day trip to Devil's Tower, or one can take a day trip to Wall Drug. We did that one day, taking a trip out to Wall Drug and it was a fun, full day experience AND I got a beautiful BH Gold ring out of that trip! There's also the Badlands NP area that one can visit, which could be a destination unto itself.
Yup, there's much to see and do in a week!
