South Dakota Travel Guide
South Dakota has much more to offer than most people think. Most of the people who get to see some of what it has to offer are traveling through the state on Interstate 90. I have been through South Dakota many times. Headed west through S. Dakota is Sioux Falls which is supposed to be one of the safest cities in the states. More westward in Chamberlain is a beautiful place also along the Missouri River, Nice rest area in this area to take a break and take a short hike to rest your legs. Southwest S. Dakota In The Black Hills, offers a lot for the tourist or the people and family's passing through the state. You may remember in history class the pictures of Mount Rushmore, but being there seeing it upclose is a whole different story.
South Dakota's Custer State Park is filled with thousands of roaming bison and wild animals; the Badlands are another geological marvel, with ridges and cliffs covered in a blanket of white sediment. Former U.S. presidents Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt and Lincoln greet visitors from the side of Mount Rushmore in Keystone. The Southeast part of South Dakota is home to many lakes and three major rivers. It is a haven for fisherman, hunters, golfers and skiers alike. Mitchell is home to the world's only Corn Palace, and De Smet preserves the heritage of Laura Ingalls Wilder of the Little House stories. Sioux Falls is South Dakota's most populated city and boasts many state parks and recreational areas.
