The charming town of Hill City has plenty of activities to keep you busy, from sampling local cuisine to browsing the unique shops. One must-do activity is riding the 1880 Train, a historic steam-powered locomotive that takes you on a scenic journey through the Black Hills National Forest. For nature lovers, the Mickelson Trail offers over 100 miles of hiking and biking trails to explore. And when it's time to rest your feet, grab a table at one of the many coffee shops and soak in the small-town atmosphere. Hill City is a delightful destination with something for everyone.

The Hill City Haven is walking distance to everything. Located right on Main Street, its close enough to restaurants and yet has privacy in a backyard for friends and family after a day of sightseeing.
