Trail Description Beautiful trails in the Black Hills National Forest for every level of rider & horse or mule. Lots of rocks for mules to climb along trails for horse riders. 80% of the trails are in the Ponderosa Pines with some open land riding through the hills. TC Horse Camp is next to a 30 mile stretch of the George S. Mickelson trail that is an old railroad bed or ride to the Mt. Rushmore Via the Centennial Trail. A gooseneck stock trailer is available so you dont have to break camp.
