Jeep The USA

Best Jeep trails in the Western U.S.

Black Hills Jeep Trails

The Black Hills are an isolated mountain range rising out of the Great Plains.  The name "Black Hills" is a translation of the Lakota Pahá Sápa. The hills were so-called because of their dark appearance from a distance, as they were covered in trees.

The Black Hills Region includes the towns of Custer, Deadwood,  Hill City, Keystone, Rapid City and Sturgis.  All trails are detailed on this website with maps, descriptions and photos plus GPS & gpx tracks.​
This Region has many, many roads and trails throughout the Black Hills National Forest.  We show trails as a single route, but in reality there are numerous ways to get to the same place.

Difficult trails are available scattered throughout the National Forest.  We only show some of them, and we have not driven any of  them.  We did our latest trail update in a one-week old stock Jeep so were very choosy where we drove.

GPX Files - This section allows you to download all trails and waypoints in a few steps, rather than individually from trail web pages.
  • You will know all the roads around you out in the field, and you will know what all your travel options are.
  • You can have all trails on your device and only turn on the one you want to run.
  • This is the only place you can download Access Roads and Minor Trails.

​​If you do not want all trails on your device, we strongly suggest you at least download all Access Roads so you can get around the Region.  Then download tracks for individual Major Trails from the bottom of the individual Major Trail webpage.
