Fodor's Expert Review Mount Roosevelt Friendship Tower

Legendary Deadwood lawman Seth Bullock spearheaded the erection of this picturesque, mountaintop, stone observation tower in honor of the friendship he forged with Theodore Roosevelt during Roosevelt's ranching era in North Dakota. The drive to the tower from Deadwood is only a few miles, and the hike from the parking area is about a mile on a moderately sloped trail in the Black Hills National Forest.
