baroclinic_instability Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I absolutely love the Black Hills and the SD Badlands. Nice pictures. The views from atop Harney are awesome. When we were there...there was an impressive thunderstorm anchored along the Black Hills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-K Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I took a trip to the Black Hills like 15 years ago. It was mid summer and as we drove out of Rapid City I experienced once of the closest lightning strikes of my like as we drove into the mountains. As we got higher into the mountains, skies cleared but there were piled of hailed everywhere. Awesome place for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
