My favorite place in the Northern Black Hills. This is a private property open to the public. Walking sticks are provided. The journey through the mile long pathway takes you past amazing sculptures, with inspiring quotes from historical figures. A green meadow rests in the middle of this property, with an Aspen grove on the lower side, and Ponderosa Pine on the other. Huge wind chimes resonate through your body along the way.
It’s a reflective and healing place. Benches are provided at each point along with metal boxes containing journals to write your thoughts.
