During my "Road Trippin' Across America's Heartland" I spent a full day exploring some of South Dakota's more well known attractions. There is more to see and do than one might expect!

This trip to western South Dakota was my first and hopefully not may last. My family was thrilled to visit some of the landmarks that made this country great. Mount Rushmore is a must see.

Prime tourist country, the Black Hills are full of accommodations ranging from luxurious to basic. We stayed at two RV parks, reviewed here. There are countless places to find good food, two reviewed below. And...more of my thoughts and ramblings concerning the Paha Sapa.

In the pine forests of the Black Hills, most of the towns owe their existence to gold, tin, and other precious metals. Nowadays, they survive on tourist dollars. Keystone, gateway to Mt. Rushmore, is commercial and fake-looking. Hill City, also known as Hillyo, has a more authentic feel.

Don’t hold it against the town of Custer and Custer State Park that they were named after one of the more infamous characters of the Old West, General George Armstrong Custer. Only 3 miles from the town of Custer, the wildlife-rich state park’s rolling hills are well worth a visit.

A stay in Keystone, SD, just miles from Mt. Rushmore, lends itself to adventurous hiking, sightseeing, and historical landmarks.
