Places Enroute To the Black Hills
The following list shows various cities or towns within easy to moderate driving distances to Keystone and the Black Hills. Generally these are places between 200 and 500 miles away where travelers enroute from greater distances may wish to stay overnight.These cities and towns have ample facilities for travelers, including motels, restaurants and automotive service stations. Most have local attractions that may be worth a visit as well.
The distances shown are by the routes indicated which may not be the best choices for all travelers. For instance, the route used to calculate the distance from Lincoln, Neb., goes through Omaha to maximize distance over the Interstate Highway system (I29 and I90). A shorter route would be through Grand Island following Nebraska State Highway 2 to Alliance then US385 North. This route follows secondary highways most of the way, however, and might not be everyone's first choice.
