Beginning of the trail in the summer.
Mount Roosevelt Trail
Mount Roosevelt Trail is a short trail that leads to a monument that was built in dedication to Theodore Roosevelt. Once in the monument you can see great views of the Black Hills and Bear Butte. To reach the trail take Highway 85 north for 1.5 miles out of Deadwood and turn onto Forest Service Road 133 and drive for about 2 miles. There is a bathroom and a picnic area on site. This hike is especially pretty in the fall.
