哥打市，人口43,836，海拔约3,000英尺。它是通往美丽的黑山的门户，这里是250万游客的夏季游乐场。传说中有卡斯特、野比尔·希科克、灾难简、坐牛和疯马等名字的黑山为西部一些最不寻常的景点提供了一英里高的背景。Mt.Mt.拉什莫尔、尼德尔斯高速公路、卡斯特州立公园、风洞、疯马纪念碑和鱼枪鱼峡谷是这片无与伦比的家庭度假胜地的亮点。在整个黑山，露营、钓鱼、观光、滑雪和探险都是一流的。无限的资源；优良的汽车高速公路；多产的矿山和森林以及农牧场；美丽的树木繁茂的公园和鲜花盛开的草地，鹿、麋鹿、水牛、山羊和海狸，翻滚的鲑鱼满载的溪流和美丽的瀑布为您创造了一个完全放松的环境。一位美国总统和他的家人在这里度过了一个快乐的夏天。在这里，一座国家纪念碑用60英尺高的花岗岩记录了华盛顿、杰斐逊、西奥多·罗斯福和林肯总统的形象。这里是拉什莫尔山。它的最高峰海拔6000多英尺，俯瞰着Keystone市。拉皮特城得名于拉皮特克里克，并被拉皮特克里克分开。拉皮特克里克是一条典型的喧闹的山溪，从黑山中部崎岖的岩石顶峰和云杉覆盖的山坡上排放融化的雪和雨水。它的发源地在7140英尺高的克鲁克斯大厦附近，就在夏延十字路口以南，拉皮特城以西34英里处。正如它的名字所暗示的，它的水沿着4000英尺的下坡流向城市，只有帕克托拉大坝控制着它，大约在城市和溪流发源地的中间。汹涌的洪水在流经城市西部边缘的峡谷湖时只会短暂延迟。然后，当它们加速穿过由小溪切割的狭窄缺口时，它们被
kota, population 43,836, located at about 3,000 feet above sea level. It is the Gateway to the beautiful Black Hills, the summer playground of two-and-one-half million tourists. Carrying the names of Custer, Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, Sitting Bull, and Crazy Horse in its legends, the Black Hills provide a mile-high backdrop for some of the West’s most unusual attractions. Mt. Rushmore, Needles Highway, Custer State Park, Wind Cave, Crazy Horse Monument, and Spearfish Canyon are featured highlights of this unmatched family vacation land. Camping, fishing, sightseeing, skiing, and exploring are superb throughout the Black Hills. Unlimited resources; fine automobile highways; prolific mines and forests and agricultural and grazing lands; beautiful wooded parks and flowered meadows with deer, elk, buffalo, mountain sheep, and beaver, rollicking troutladen streams and gorgeous waterfalls contribute to a completely relaxing environment. Here a President of the United States and his family spent a happy summer. Here a national monument has recorded in granite 60-foot high images of Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Lincoln. This is Mount Rushmore. Its peak is more than 6,000 feet above sea level and overlooks the city of Keystone. The city of Rapid City takes its name from and is divided by Rapid Creek, a typical, boisterous mountain stream draining melted snow and rain waters from the rugged rocky crests and spruce-covered slopes of the central portion of the Black Hills. It has its origin near 7,140-foot Crooks Tower, just south of Cheyenne Crossing and 34 miles west of Rapid City. As its name suggests, its waters race 4,000 feet downhill to the city, controlled only by Pactola Dam, about midway between the city and the stream’s origin. The rushing waters are only momentarily delayed as they pass through Canyon Lake at the western edge of the city. Then they accelerate as they race through the narrow gap cut over the ages by the stream, framed by
