Your Adventure Awaits!  Black Hills Balloons flies in the southern Black Hills, making the Custer Valley and world-renowned Custer State Park the heart of our flying area; just miles from Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Wind Cave National Park and the South Dakota Badlands!  Your flight over mountains, valleys, lakes and prairies, is one of the best ways to view the Black Hills; home to elk, antelope, whitetail deer, buffalo and mule deer. If you’re lucky, you might even see a mountain lion from our secure gondola!  The beautiful Black Hills is the only place in the world where you can witness such historic, wild landscape and abundant wildlife from a hot air balloon.
