Join us for this incredible, spiritual experience to commemorate the day that Neihardt took Black Elk to the top of Black Elk Peak in the Black Hills of South Dakota to visit the site of Black Elk’s vision. The group will meet in the parking lot of Sylvan Lake at the trailhead by the visitor’s center, gather for a prayer led by Myron Pourier (great-great-grandson of Black Elk and Neihardt Foundation Board member), and set off on a self-paced hike.

No registration required. No fee. All are welcome to participate. Self-paced.

Meet at 8:30. Hike begins at 9:00.

Hike Time: 3-4 hours. Elevation Gain: 1100ft – 2200ft, depending on the route you take.

Hiking boots, walking sticks, lunch in a backpack, and bottled water are recommended.
