Additional Description: Top caption: Due to its initial cost, locals referred to this roadway as the "Needless Highway" in the 1920s. However, over the years, it has become a popular byway that enhanced the regional tourism economy.

Lower caption: Touring cars were a common sight along Needles Highway during the 1920s. They have since been replaced by family cars, campers, and tour buses. Past or present, the roadway showcases some of the best scenery in the Black Hills.
