I have been to South Dakota several times throughout my lifetime. It's an amazing place to visit, because you feel like you're always in nature without always being in nature - if that makes sense.
We started off by leaving our house in Iowa and traveled to the Corn Palace in Mitchell SD.

We continued on and soon arrived at Wall Drug in Wall, SD. This is a store that has all sorts of things that you can purchase as well as a life - sized T-Rex. This store became famous, because the owners gave free ice water to travelers passing through. This tradition has stuck to this day.
We finally arrived in Rapid City, SD after several hours on the road. We usually choose to stay in Rapid City, because it's close enough to Keystone that we can travel there, but it's got a bigger variety of hotels and restaurants.
