Description
What is the Stories in Stone hat?
The Stories in Stone hat is a BHPFA-exclusive baseball cap designed by Concept 360 to capture the geology and landscape of the Black Hills and Badlands. The front features a large embroidered patch with five illustrated landmarks: Devils Tower, Jewel Cave, Mount Rushmore, Wind Cave, and Badlands. The side is embroidered with “Black Hills and Badlands” in smaller text. You won’t find this design at other retailers.
Concept 360 is a national parks apparel specialist based in West Jordan, Utah. They design and produce apparel specifically for national parks associations, focusing on each park’s history, geology, and culture. The Stories in Stone design is one of several BHPFA-exclusive collections they’ve created for this region. The company donates a portion of proceeds back to national parks.
The hat comes in denim blue with a colorful embroidered patch design. The adjustable metal clasp fits most adult head sizes.
What’s on the patch
The embroidered patch shows five sites, each rendered in colorful stitching:
- Devils Tower (Wyoming). The igneous rock formation that rises 867 feet above the Belle Fourche River. One of the most distinctive geological features in the region.
- Jewel Cave (South Dakota). The third-longest cave in the world, with more than 220 miles of mapped passages and calcite crystals lining the walls.
- Mount Rushmore (South Dakota). The granite memorial with the carved faces of four U.S. presidents in the Black Hills.
- Wind Cave (South Dakota). The 7th-longest cave in the world, known for boxwork formations concentrated here like nowhere else on Earth.
- Badlands (South Dakota). Eroded buttes and spires exposing millions of years of sedimentary layers, and one of the richest fossil beds in North America.

Who is this for?
Black Hills visitors and road trippers. If you’ve been to Wind Cave, driven through Custer State Park, or hiked the Badlands, the patch means something. It’s the hat you wear to remember the trip rather than a generic “South Dakota” souvenir.
Gift buyers. A practical choice for someone with a trip to the Black Hills planned or already completed. The embroidered patch design reads well in photos and holds up over time better than screen prints. Available in two neutral colors that work for most people.
Geology and public lands enthusiasts. The “stories in stone” concept is about what these landscapes literally are: deep time, exposed rock, cave systems, and fossils. If that resonates with someone, this hat is on-brand for them.
Frequently asked questions
What landmarks are on the embroidered patch?
The patch shows five sites in the Black Hills and Badlands region: Devils Tower, Jewel Cave, Mount Rushmore, Wind Cave, and Badlands. Each is represented as a small illustrated scene with colorful stitching.
Is this hat available anywhere else?
No. The Stories in Stone design is exclusive to BHPFA. You can buy it in our park stores at Wind Cave and Jewel Cave, or through this online shop. You won’t find it at other retailers.
What does “one size fits most” mean?
The hat has an adjustable metal buckle and strap at the back. The strap adjusts to fit a range of adult head sizes. If you normally find baseball caps comfortable, this hat should fit.
Is the embroidery durable?
Embroidery holds up better than screen printing over time because the design is stitched into the fabric rather than applied on top. The patch won’t crack, peel, or fade the way printed designs sometimes do. Follow the spot-clean care instructions to get the most out of it.
Does buying this support national parks?
Yes. Black Hills Parks & Forests Association is the official nonprofit partner for Wind Cave National Park, Jewel Cave National Monument, Scotts Bluff National Monument, and Agate Fossil Beds National Monument. Proceeds from this purchase fund education programs, exhibits, and visitor services at these parks.
Is this part of a larger collection?
Yes. The Stories in Stone design also appears on a t-shirt in adult and youth sizes and a collectible pin set. The hat, shirt, and pins all use the same five-park design.
