Black Hills The Black Hills (Lakota: Ȟe Sápa, Cheyenne: Moʼȯhta-voʼhonáaeva, Hidatsa: awaxaawi shiibisha[1]) are a small, isolated mountain range rising from the Great Plains of North America in western South Dakota and extending into Wyoming, United States.[2] Black Elk Peak (formerly known as Harney Peak), which rises to 7,244 feet (2,208 m), is the range's highest summit.[3] The Black Hills encompass the Black Hills National Forest. The name "Black Hills" is a translation of the Lakota Pahá Sápa. The hills were so-called because of their dark appearance from a distance, as they were covered in trees.[4]
