Hot Springs, South Dakota has been a magnet for travelers for centuries. Long before white people built the town, the region's native people came here to enjoy the reputed healing properties of the many mineral-rich springs from which the town would get its name (and according to a sign, there are 170 springs in this valley!). When the town of Hot Springs was founded in the late 19th century, a new group of travelers started to come here to enjoy the waters, and many luxurious hotels and spas sprung up in town.
Hot Springs retains its charms today. From its beautiful sandstone architecture to the gentle stream that flows through town, it's just a nice place to while away a few hours. Plus, it's very conveniently located to explore the attractions of the southern Black Hills, including Wind Cave and Custer State Park, which makes it a great place to base your Black Hills vacation.
