Hill City has long been known as “the Heart of the Hills” for its central location, and the famed Mickelson Trail has served as a sort of artery, running through the Black Hills. But what is a heart with one artery and no veins? That is exactly what the founders of Hill City Trails thought in 2020 when they sparked the vision for a local network of hiking and biking trails.
