The Black Hills are home to more than 100 known caves - including the world's third-longest cave system at Jewel Cave National Monument with its miles of unmapped passageways, and the complex caves systems at Wind Cave National Park, which are not merely a geological wonder they also make up a sacred site for the Lakota people.

We join pioneer explorer Chris Pelczarski for some hands-on spelunking in seriously narrow caves (that are sometimes home to mountain lions). Then we meet Indigenous park ranger Sina Bear Eagle and learn about the Lakota emergence story and its deep spiritual meaning.

In South Dakota, the deep agricultural roots mean that visitors have plenty of chances to get a true hands-on experience, from exploring vineyards to see how wine is made to meeting farm animals and learning how to make cheese. When you participate in agritourism, you're tapping into a way of life that few visitors see.

Join us as we take a stroll through a hops farm on our way to a brewery, help brew some beer, and make cheese with some friendly emus. Along the way we learn about family farming legacies, hands‑on food and drink production, experimental craft beers, and the sensory joy of tasting locally grown ingredients.
