Black Hills popping up repeatedly in national media

The South Dakota Office of Tourism sent out a press release recently to summarize a number of positive reports about the Black Hills in the national media.

Here’s part of the release, with links:

For the fifth time in just a few months, the Black Hills area has been honored by media across the country for its unmistakable beauty. This time it was the Wall Street Journal that took notice of "what to do, where to eat and where to stay in this historic corner of the Great Plains." – See the article here: Western South Dakota
