Polly’s narration also touched on the 1972 Black Hills Flood during the drive through west Rapid City, where Formanek says one of the nation’s deadliest floods was the most devastating. While Polly was our narrator, we also had the pleasure of having our friendly driver, John . “Riders have commented on his upbeat personality and great sense of humor,” said Formanek. “John also ensures riders get a good look at each highlight on the route, pausing or stopping during certain points in the tour for guests to fully appreciate the site and narration.” One stop on the trolley includes 100-mile views to the east and west of Rapid City on Skyline Drive, where riders hear about the Gold Rush and also get to see Dinosaur Park. The classic attraction opened May 1 after months of construction with updates, including making it more accessible for visitors.
