Known for over 100 years as the "small town of family vacation fun," Hot Springs offers great memories and simple pleasures! Relax, swim, golf, boat, fish, hunt, mountain bike, hike, trail ride, and tour museums... all favored with colorful, scenic backgrounds. Looking for something to do in this part of ?God?s Country?? Then look no further than the Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary, which offers a two hour guided bus tour to view the wild Mustangs, ancient Indian petroglyphs. For something a little more modern, check out the Ted Turner movie "Crazy Horse" on-site movie sets. Is spelunking something you like, then step right into the Beautiful Rushmore Cave. This is the closest cave to Mount Rushmore , and features mighty columns, stalagmites and massive flow stones, along with ribbons, draperies and helicites. This is open country, where one can see for miles on end. This is never more evident than right here in the Buffalo Gap National Grassland, which offers a rich diversity of prairie habitats, including riparian areas, woody draws, shrub lands, juniper breaks and open grasslands. Intermingled private lands add crop lands and shelter belts to the impressive habitat mosaic. A tremendous number of birds, over 230 species?large and small, silent and noisy?spend part of the year here. Stock ponds and cooperative Ducks Unlimited impoundments have created habitat for waterfowl and shorebirds. The juniper breaks and woody draws are a sharp contrast to the grasslands, and provide critical habitat for many bird species. Evans Plunge is something a little more ?contained.? It is actually the world's largest natural warm water indoor swimming pool! Outdoor pool too. Big water slides, Tarzan rings, fun-tubes, pool games, super spa and fitness center, make this a family must!! But by far the best sights here include the Mammoth Site, which is an active paleontological excavation of Ice Age animals. This features hands-on exhibits and newly expanded exhibit hall.
