The Black Hills are a mountain range that has been eroded for millions of years and has the appearance of rolling hills with granite summits throughout. The entire region is covered by Ponderosa pine, and the dark green pine needles appear black from a distance.

If you are using Black Hills as the name of a place, then yes, it should be capitalized because it would be a proper noun. i.e. Black Hills of South Dakota. If it isn't being used as a particular place, i.e. Look on top of those black hills which are next to that white mountain, then it would not be capitalized.
