Located just 7 miles north of Custer, the property is nestled in a pristine and private setting. Bridle Ridge offers some of the most spectacular riding and scenery in the Black Hills and is the PERFECT place for a peaceful getaway. Bordering the National Forest, which offers 1.2 million acres, the riding is endless straight out of camp for those with a sense of adventure! We offer over 100 miles of beautiful trails on the Gaia GPS app for sharing with our guests, and in the Black Hills, you can ride where ever you want! A guest favorite is a ride to Bear Mountain Lookout, and it is accessible straight out of camp. At 7166 ft. (just 74 feet shy of Black Elk Peak), it offers 360-degree views of South Dakota and Wyoming. One can also catch views of the famous Crazy Horse Memorial from several different locations on numerous trails into the high country. Our convenient location allows you to quickly get to the area's most popular destinations such as Crazy Horse, Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, Jewel and Wind Caves, and so many more. And for those non-cooking nights, enjoy a night out on the town in Custer or Hill City. Come join us and see what we are talking about!
