Weather


Visit Deadwood in springtime, and you'll enjoy moderate daytime temperatures. The conditions are perfect for a stroll down our historic streets or a refreshing hike in the hills.

Summer comes early to Deadwood. The days start heating up in May, and they stay warm well into early fall. At an elevation of 4,533 feet, Deadwood's July temperatures rarely dip below 60 degrees. Even when you venture a little higher into the Hills, near Terry Peak or Deer Mountain, you'll enjoy these same ideal summer conditions.




Spring, summer, fall and winter in the Black Hills.


You can literally witness the seasons change as you drive near Deadwood Gulch. Ash and birch trees begin to show their fall colors amid a sea of green ponderosa pines, and the sun casts slightly longer shadows.

The Black Hills shelter Deadwood from winter's harsh chill. Because of the unusually warm winter days, some even call this area the Banana Belt. Deadwood's average January temperature hovers near 25 degrees. What could be better for skiing, snowmobiling or just plain having fun?

Every season has special events.
