Hooray! May is here along with better weather. Just get out and walk a year-round or a seasonal and start working your way towards an incentive patch, vest or jacket. June finds us with traditional walks every weekend, July brings us the Silver City Ice Cream Social, August we hike the back trails as the visitors swell the numbers on the more common path and bus is filling up for our Montana trip (this is a great way to complete the new AVA Rails to Trails program); finally, September finds us with walks every weekend once again. Let's get out and enjoy the fresh air and beauty that surrounds us.
BHVA Board meeting is on May 23rd at the Rapid City Public Library in the Hoyt Room from 5 pm to 6:45 pm.
Please use the Traditional Walks tab to get more information for the following walks.

Get out and walk…
