Hello, young adventurers! We will dive into the exciting world of the Black Hills in South Dakota, where five amazing geologic areas come together like pieces of a giant puzzle. First up is the Hogback, a ridge with steep, dramatic slopes that look like the back of a hog! Next, we explore the Red Valley, known for its vibrant red rocks and stunning views. Then, there are the Minnelusa Foothills, where gentle hills meet the larger mountains. Don’t miss the Limestone Plateau and Belt, a flat area with lots of cool, old limestone rocks. Finally, we’ll check out the Central Core, the heart of the Black Hills, where you’ll find some of the oldest rocks around. Each of these special areas has its own story to tell, making the Black Hills a truly amazing place to learn about!
