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.
