Best Hummingbird Gardens in Custer County, South Dakota

Crazy Horse Memorial is a world-famous ongoing mountain carving in the Black Hills of South Dakota, begun in 1948 to honor Oglala Lakota leader Crazy Horse. The 400-acre grounds include two museums, extensive surrounding Black Hills landscape with ponderosa pine forests, rocky slopes, and native meadow clearings. The Black Hills ecosystem supports a rich diversity of wildflowers including penstemon, columbine, and scarlet trumpet plants that attract Ruby-throated Hummingbirds at the western edge of their range — making this one of the westernmost reliable hummingbird sites in South Dakota, where Broad-tailed Hummingbird is also occasionally reported.
