Located as it is in a country blessed by nature Rapid City provides more amusement to lovers of the out door life than most cities. With a climate ofttimes as equitable in January as that of Southern California and with rainfall usually confined to the spring months out of door life finds here its perfect environment. The nights, owing to the altitude of nearly thirty-two hundred feet, are always cool, there being few in the hottest of the summer months when blankets are not needed. The absence of dew makes camping a delightful pastime and there is trout fishing, for those who enjoy the gentle art of Isaac Walton, as good as the country affords anywhere. Deer are plentiful in season and game birds, including grouse, partridge, quail and duck, are plentiful enough to make it worth the while of any follower of Nimrod.
Rapid City itself being thus favorably located is the center of business activity radiating east as far as the Missouri river and west, north and south to the boundaries of the Black Hills. It has the three requisites of a progressive and up-to-date growing city—first-class hotels, a new up-to-date theatre and a live newspaper. From the city all of the interesting points in the Hills can be reached by railroads, or by automobiles over roads which are being constantly improved.
