Welcome to this issue of Elevate, which is dedicated to those who took the risk, made the decision, and moved to the Black Hills for a better life. Like the pioneers and indigenous peoples before them, they’re discovering what makes the area so special, so magical, and so free. Whether it’s the cost of living, the world-class mountain biking and hiking, or just the ability to live downtown—things are pretty special here.
And, with the all the new additions to the community, things are only getting better.
