t 195,850 residents, Sioux Falls is the state’s largest city. It is home to much of the state’s big business, minor league professional sports, opportunities for fine art and the Big Sioux River, for which the city is named.

The actual trip from Sioux Falls to Mitchell covers 70 miles, give or take a few, but the westward stretch of I-90

is much farther than that in spirit. The span between Sioux Falls and Mitchell is truly where the West begins, and few places in the Midwest offer such a sweeping change in scenery and spirit in such a short drive.

Hartford. They also see some of the first evidence of heavy tourism, too, with billboards pointing the way toward visitor destinations ahead. This area is mainly farm country. Around here, corn is king, planted in April and harvested in October. Soybeans and winter wheat – which emerge with a blazing bright green hue in the spring — are also common.

USS South Dakota Battleship Memorial Steve Cukrov / Shutterstock

South Dakota is known as “The Land of Infinite Variety” and Sioux Falls epitomizes that slogan perhaps more than any other city in the state. Founded along the banks of the Big Sioux River, Sioux Falls got its name from the mighty falls that thunder on the city’s north end.

From its agrarian beginnings in 1856, Sioux Falls has exploded in population, from 100,000 in 1990 to 195,850today. That growth has come thanks to Sioux Falls’ ability to constantly change with the times. For years, Sioux

Falls was known as a cattle and meat-packing town, yet it has morphed into a banking and business community, a destination for health care, and a departure point for outward travel, thanks to its regional airport.

Battleship Memorial: For a leg-stretching break or a picnic spot, check out the USS South Dakota Battleship Memorial, which consists of a 1-foot-high concrete barrier in the outline of the ship and some salvaged pieces from the vessel, all within Sherman Park.

Falls Park: First-time visitors to Sioux Falls would be remiss to not stop and see the city’s namesake, located along North Phillips Avenue, near downtown. A century ago, the threetiered falls were used to power a mill and, later, a hydroelectric plant. Foundations of these buildings are still visible.

Attractions of Falls Park include a breathtaking 360-degree view of the park from the five-story viewing tower and an information center. The Open Air Shelter is home to the Falls Park Farmer’s Market and is available for large picnics, special events and more, with electric and water services available.

The Falls Overlook Cafe is dining with a view located in the old Sioux Falls Light and Power Company hydroelectric plant building. Falls Park lights up with thousands of dazzling lights from mid-November through early January with “Winter Wonderland at Falls Park.”

Sports fans should take notice that three world-class athletes grew up in these areas.

Riley Reiff, an offensive tackle for the Cincinnati Bengals, has become a stalwart lineman in the NFL. He grew up in nearby Parkston and was a first-round draft pick in 2012 out of the University of Iowa by the Detroit Lions.

A couple of now-retired legends also call the area home. Mike Miller, the former University of Florida star and NBA Rookie of the Year, grew up in Mitchell and played his prep basketball in the Corn Palace. He won two NBA

Championships playing with LeBron James and the Miami Heat. Chad Greenway, formerly of the University of Iowa, played his entire 11-year NFL career with the Minnesota Vikings and hails from Mount Vernon.

Stop in to any of these towns and the locals likely can tell you about the exploits of these players as they led their teams to state high school titles.

The area is also a fervent baseball hotbed, with local teams that have passionate fans.

Hungry? The small towns between Mitchell and Chamberlain generally have uptown restaurants that feature true homestyle cooking. Vacations are built around fast food, but sometimes it’s nice to stop off the highway and enjoy a meal in the slower pace of a small town.

The first known residents of the Mitchell area were a farmer-hunter Native American tribe now known as the Pre-Mandan. They settled on the banks of Firesteel Creek. It is now the location on Lake Mitchell known as the Prehistoric Indian Village. They occupied this area from 1000 A.D. to 1100 A.D. In August 1879, the original townsite of the town of Mitchell was platted. The town was named in honor of Milwaukee banker Alexander Mitchell, then president of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad. The townsite covered 75 acres.

In the spring of 1881, the town of Mitchell was incorporated as a village, and from 1887 until the present, the city of Mitchell has existed. Today Mitchell’s population is about 15,600.

FROM THE FALLS TO THE FACES

Bike trails: An aggressive program of bike trail construction is underway in Mitchell, adding to the many trails already in the city. One of the most popular paths is the Dry Run Creek segment, which stretches west-to-east through much of the city along Dry Run Creek and many wooded areas.

Carnegie Resource Center: History and genealogy researchers will find a treasure trove of information about, and photographs of, families, businesses and happenings in the area, dating from Mitchell’s beginning along the James River as Firesteel in 1879. Visitors can view diplomas, yearbooks, photos, and newspaper articles pertaining to the history of Mitchell’s public and parochial schools.

The interior of the dome of the CRC is adorned by the mural “Sun and Rain Clouds Over Hills,” by Oscar Howe, a Yanktonai Sioux artist who painted it in 1940 as a WPA project. From 1948 through 1971, Howe designed the mural panels for the Corn Palace.

The CRC also houses the Clyde and Mary Goin Corn Palace Collection which depicts the history of Mitchell’s three Corn Palaces. Signed glossy photos by many of the famous

performers at the Corn Palace, among them Bob Hope and Red Skelton, are displayed, along with countless items of Corn Palace memorabilia.

Organizations and families can also schedule social events and meetings at the CRC. Books, monographs, historic original postcards, CDs and DVDs are available for purchase.

Inside the World's Only Corn Palace Nagel Photography / Shutterstock

Corn Palace: The World’s Only Corn Palace stands as a majestic, uniquely American, folk art icon on the rolling prairies of South Dakota. The first Mitchell Corn Palace was built in 1892, just three years after South Dakota became a state – when the city was 12 years old. Early settlers dramatically displayed their agricultural bounty on the building’s exterior to prove the fertility of the region’s soil. The Corn Palace that now sits on Main Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues is actually the third Corn Palace in Mitchell, but its purpose hasn’t changed. The building is famous for the huge, colorful murals on its exterior, which are redesigned every year. 2015 brought major renovations to the interior and exterior of the building, including color-changing light-up domes, a balcony on the front, and a remodeled entryway and lobby. In the evening, the lighting makes the exterior a spectacular sight.

The work to create the murals is done by hand. Beginning in late May and working through the end of July, the rye and sour dock are removed from the building and replaced with new bundles.

Then that year’s chosen sketches are transferred to roofing paper which is nailed in to the mural panels. The 13 shades of colored corn used on the building are grown locally and handpicked.

Each corn cob is sawed in half, shaped and trimmed to fit the designated spaces, then nailed into place. Approximately 275,000 ears of corn are used to bring the murals to life.

During the summer months the Corn Palace

offers free tours led by friendly guides full of a-maize-ing facts. The tour also features an outstanding video explaining the Corn Palace story.

After the tour you can view displays about the Corn Palace, how the murals are created, see pictures of entertainers from the past, and learn how the corn is grown.

During the rest of the year the building is used for many purposes, including as a basketball arena, a concert venue, an indoor rodeo arena, trade shows, graduation ceremonies, high school prom, and the Shrine Circus, to name a few. Come experience it!

his most prominent works here. Howe is considered a key influential figure in modern Native American art.

He matured as an artist while living in Mitchell, earning his bachelor’s degree from Dakota Wesleyan University in 1952 and serving as an artist-in-residence at the school. He also designed the Corn Palace murals from 1948 through 1971.

FROM THE FALLS TO THE FACES

South Dakota native Charles Hargens Jr., also has art displayed at the museum. Hargens was known for his scenes of the Old West and his attention to detail and accuracy, having been commissioned to create paintings and drawings for more than 300 books and 3,000 magazines.

In the outdoor campus behind the main building are four authentic historic buildings, including an 1885 one-room schoolhouse and the fully furnished 1886 Victorian-Italianate home of the co-founder of the Corn Palace, Louis Beckwith. Visitors walking through the buildings will be transported back in time.

Also outside are DiscoveryLand, a hands-on activity area for children ages 5 to 10, and the Heritage Gardens Project, which brings indigenous plants to the gardens surrounding the museum and historic buildings.

Golfing: The city has two topnotch 18-hole golf courses, Lakeview Municipal and Wild Oak. Lakeview, along Lake Mitchell, is considered one of the top municipal courses in the state. Wild Oak features nine holes along Firesteel Creek and nine holes on higher ground.

Lake Mitchell: Besides the obvious boating and fishing opportunities at Lake Mitchell, which is in the northwest corner of the city, there are also public beaches, parks and trails around the lake. The very popular campground that overlooks Lake Mitchell is a family camping center with fishing, swimming, boating, paddle boats, a playground, and a laundry facility. Kiwanis Woodlot Park is especially popular, and there are hiking and mountain-biking trails that begin there and offer lake views.

Guns of History Gun Gallery: Firearms from the Native American wars of 1860 to 1890, including the battles of Little Bighorn and Rosebud, will be on display at the Guns of History Gun Gallery. Located at 700 N. Sanborn Blvd. in Mitchell,

the museum occupies an attached space east of Palace City Pawn. Open seasonally, it has a separate entrance, and admission will be charged. The museum is starting with 30 pieces connected with Sioux Chiefs, the Cheyenne, and U.S. Cavalry, including Civil War-era pistols. A rotating display of other consequential weapons on loan from a network of collectors will accompany the permanent pieces. There is a sense of history’s weight when you carefully pick up the Winchester 1873 carbine that Crazy Horse aimed at uniformed men near the smoke-filled banks of the Little Bighorn River in June 1876. Each piece inside the museum will be accompanied by a detailed pedigree, including explanations of the carved markings found on the stocks.

McGovern Library & Legacy Museum: George McGovern influenced a generation of voters with his opposition to the Vietnam War and his commitment to liberal principles.

In Mitchell, that legacy comes alive at the McGovern Legacy Museum.

Inside the McGovern Legacy Museum, all of those rich life experiences are vibrantly explained with the help of interactive audio and video displays narrated by McGovern himself, and with memorabilia from throughout McGovern’s life.

Among the highlights of the exhibit is a stylized version of McGovern’s 1972 campaign plane, the Dakota Queen II. Visitors can sit in one of the airplane seats and watch video clips from McGovern’s acceptance speech at the 1972 Democratic National Convention, where he gave his “Come Home, America” address. Politically-minded tourists will delight in the campaign memorabilia and artifacts, including posters, photos, buttons and even shoeboxes full of note cards McGovern kept about the people he met on the campaign trail.

Prehistoric Indian Village

Prehistoric Indian Village: Discovery of prehistoric fossils was first made by a student of Dakota Wesleyan University in 1910, but it wasn’t until 1975 that the site was preserved by the Mitchell Prehistoric Indian Village Preservation Society.

This archaeological site is open to the public. It is a National Historic Landmark and it is on the National Registry.

Each summer archaeologists excavate the site, near Lake Mitchell, to learn more about the first settlers who lived here in the Northern Plains, believed to have been ancestors of the present-day Mandan.

Guests can watch as the archaeologists uncover artifacts in the comfort of the climate-controlled Thomsen Center Archeodome and tour the Boehnen Memorial Museum to see a reconstructed lodge and many of the 1.5 million artifacts recovered from the site throughout its years. The Shoppe Antiquary has an extensive collection of Native American, indigenous, and regional art, jewelry, pottery, books and more.

Much of the information learned at the village dates back to previous inhabitants who lived at the site 1,100 years ago.

They lived in earthen lodges, which were circular mounds.

This area was a major bison processing center, as people extracted bone grease from the animal to produce pemmican, a mixture of fat and protein which provided nutrition during the era.

There is a special site created for children to practice their archaeology skills and dig for a free arrowhead. You can also learn how to throw a spear using an atlatl. Picnic tables for visitors are set up along the lake and on the bluff overlooking the lake.

FROM THE FALLS TO THE FACES

NATIVE AMERICAN TOURISM South Dakota is home to nine American Indian tribes, a fact that presents opportunities for adventurous travelers who are willing to go off the beaten path, take a drive and experience different cultures. Following are some of those opportunities for I-90 travelers.

Lower Brule Reservation: On the western bank of the Missouri River in central South Dakota near Chamberlain is the Lower Brule Reservation, which features the Golden Buffalo Casino and the Buffalo Interpretive Center. The Buffalo Interpretive Center teaches the story of the buffalo, its importance and significance in the North American Indian cultures of the Great Plains, and its relationship to the people of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe.

Native American National and State Scenic Byway: The byway takes travelers on a journey north-to-south across the entire state of South Dakota.

The total distance is approximately 450 miles. The byway passes through five reservations and tribal lands, including Standing Rock, Cheyenne River, Lower Brule, Crow Creek, and Yankton. Passing

Teaching Native American heritage

through the heart of the Great Sioux Nation in central South Dakota, visitors will experience not only tribal history and culture, but breathtaking views, as well. Much of the route follows the Missouri River, which provides views of bountiful wildlife, diverse landscapes and stunning vistas of rolling hills and river bluffs. Memorial markers, interpretive signs, and monuments commemorate the heritage of the Lakota and Dakota nations and allow visitors to learn history from the Native American and early settlers’ points of view. A few

of the sites along the byway include: Sakakawea and Sitting Bull Monuments, Mobridge; Fort Manuel near Kenel; and Fischers Lilly Park, Fort Pierre, where Lewis and Clark met with Native Americans.

Pine Ridge Reservation: In southwestern South Dakota, visitors to the Badlands can drive a bit farther south to visit the Pine Ridge Reservation. Those interested in history will want to see the Wounded Knee Massacre Site near the Nebraska border.

Rest Stops: The tipi marks some of the rest stops along I-90. There are eight rest stops westbound, located at mile markers 42, 100, 167, 221, 264, 301.5, 363 & 412.

Yankton Sioux Reservation: Take a detour south of Interstate 90 in southeastern South Dakota and visit the Yankton Sioux Reservation, near the city of Wagner, which features Fort Randall Dam on the Missouri River, the historic Fort Randall Chapel (preserved from a former military fort), Fort Randall Casino, and many nearby state parks and recreation areas.

SCENIC DRIVES Scenic drive of the Badlands loop

An east-to-west trip on Interstate 90 will bring you faceto-face with giant buffalo, dinosaurs and jackalopes. Even the Interstate Information Centers along the way get into the act with oversized concrete tipis that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The growth spurred by the construction of I-90 in South Dakota during the 1960s has forever changed the towns along the corridor in the state. For example, in 1967, an average of 1,800 vehicles passed by Mitchell on I-90 each day, according to the South Dakota Department of Transportation; by 2033, the DOT expects that average to increase to 13,600 vehicles per day.

South Dakota’s scenic drives are well worth the extra tank of gas. The wind in your hair, an open road ahead, and nothing but breathtaking views out every window. It’s freedom at its finest, whether you’re following the Missouri River through the lands of five Native American tribes, threading a Pigtail Bridge in Custer State Park, or taking the back roads to discover rural America. Go where the road takes you.

CAMPING DESTINATIONS From the Big Bend of the Missouri River toward the south, here are some of the state parks and recreation areas along the river in South Dakota: Platte Creek Recreation Area: Fishing and water recreation draw a quieter crowd to Platte Creek Recreation Area to enjoy Lake Francis Case on the Missouri River. Visitors to Platte Creek enjoy natural features similar to those at Snake Creek, but from a quieter campground with similar amenities.

Pease Creek Recreation Area: With almost 600 acres to explore and easy access to the Missouri River’s Lake Francis Case for great fishing, Pease Creek is a popular day use and camping park. The wooded terrain provides shaded campsites and hiking opportunities on the bluffs above Lake Francis Case.

Randall Creek Recreation Area: Near the historic community of Pickstown, the Randall Creek area is downstream from the Fort Randall Dam. The area is widely considered to be South Dakota’s best area for birding. Visitors can check out the eagle roost area in the park, which is designated a National Natural Landmark.

Singing Horse Trading Post & Bed and Breakfast: Singing Horse Trading Post is located on the Pine Ridge Lakota Reservation and specializes in quality Native crafts, including fine arts, quill work, star quilts, leather craft, bone/antler jewelry, beadwork and more. There is also a bed and breakfast, with rooms, cabins and camping, providing an exciting experience for those wishing to visit the reservation. Visitors can arrange tours, horseback adventures and educational opportunities.

South Dakota camping at its finest

Snake Creek Recreation Area & Buryanek Recreation Area: Lake Francis Case draws visitors to Snake Creek Recreation Area & Buryanek Recreation Area. Buryanek is a calm riverside park on the west bank of the Missouri River tucked away into the hills of the valley. History buffs will enjoy knowing that the Lewis and Clark expedition traveled through the area, where they were told to watch for “burning bluffs” along the river.

West Bend Recreation Area: Excellent walleye and smallmouth bass fishing are supported by a relatively stable lake level and cool water temperatures. The protected marina offers convenient boat launching, regardless of the wind direction. In the autumn, hunters use this as a base camp to hunt pheasants and Canada geese.

THE RIVER

O

ur forefathers would be surprised by today’s Missouri River. When Lewis and Clark passed this way in 1804-1806, the river ran fast and brown; hence its former nickname, the “Big Muddy.”

Settlers who came here in the 1870s and 1880s quipped that the Missouri was “too thick to drink, too thin to plow.” It was flood-prone, full of snags and dangerous to cross.

Today’s Missouri River is nothing like that. Thanks to a series of dams constructed in the middle of the 20th century, the Mighty Mo is deep, blue and inviting. Dams at Pierre, Fort Thompson, Pickstown and Yankton have created four massive lakes, widely regarded as the Great Lakes of South Dakota.

Even if the Missouri wasn’t a recreational paradise — which it is — it still would be one of South Dakota’s most popular destinations, thanks to the bustling fishing industry it has spawned. Walleye are king on the Missouri, but numerous other catchable 2021 DISCOVER

fish species live here as well, including huge salmon and trout, which thrive in the deep water created by the dams.

With more than 400 miles of river and 3,000 miles of shoreline within South Dakota alone, there’s plenty of room on the cool Missouri River for everyone who has an urge to camp, boat, swim or just enjoy a beautiful South Dakota sunset.

Beyond the river, westward travelers emerge into South Dakota’s West River region, vastly different from East River. The high plains, buttes and rolling terrain characteristic of the American West are abundant west of the Missouri, as are Western-themed tourist attractions.

Meriwether Lewis and William Clark spent the late summer and early fall of 1804 exploring present-day South Dakota. Their return trip in 1806 led them back through the area. The captain’s journal entries for this region describe lush vegetation and wildlife, not to mention unusual sights like barking squirrels, burning bluffs and TRAVEL GUIDE

immense herds of buffalo. The journals also tell of first-ever councils with the Sioux and Arikara tribes. Follow in the footsteps of the Corps of Discovery along the Missouri River. Walk where they walked, see what they saw, and feel what they felt as the sometimes wild and isolated trail is revealed.

Now, 200 years later, you too can experience the same rugged adventure along South Dakota’s Lewis and Clark Trail. For I-90 travelers, the best place to learn about Lewis and Clark and stand where they stood is the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center along I-90 at Exit 264, Chamberlain.

It affords breathtaking views of Lake Francis Case, a sprawling Missouri River reservoir.

When Clark stood on a bluff in 1804 looking out over what is now Chamberlain, he saw a sweeping panorama of river, bluffs, plains, sky and wildlife.

“Vast herds of buffalo, deer, elk and antelopes were seen in every direction feeding on the hills and plains,” he wrote in his journal.

FROM THE FALLS TO THE FACES

Al’s Oasis: Nestled along the Missouri River in Oacoma, Al’s Oasis has historically been the premier resting stop for travelers along I-90. Here at Al’s Oasis we offer bus tour groups, vacationing families, tourists, and lone travelers more than just great food, lodging and shopping. We offer them an escape from their travels. We still have our delicious 5¢ coffee, which always comes with a free smile. Al’s Oasis, still a family run business, prides itself on making a fun, convenient, and relaxing stop for you and your family.

Akta Lakota Museum and Cultural Center: One of the more unique museums in the state, on the campus of St. Joseph’s Indian School, opened in 1991. The words “Akta Lakota,” meaning “to honor the people,” were chosen because the museum is truly intended to honor and preserve the rich culture of the Lakota people.

On display is a fascinating array of Indian artifacts, artwork and educational items. Much of the museum’s original collection came from gifts given to St. Joseph’s by alumni and friends since the school opened in 1927. After the museum opened, it acquired many new pieces and continually strives to add relevant pieces to the collection. The museum also houses a Collector’s Gallery, which gives local artists a place to display and sell their work. The facility is more than a traditional museum; it is an experience that provides visitors with a living lesson on the Native American way of life, both past and present.

American Creek Campground: Enjoy spending time with family and friends as you relax along the shores of the Missouri River. Enjoy the scenic views, local wildlife, and spectacular sunsets over the bluffs. As you relax, enjoy water recreation activities and some of the best walleye fishing in the state. Do you have kids? They can enjoy our spacious playground and swimming at the beach. We offer all of the amenities to make your camping experience a success! Located off Interstate 90, Exits 263 or 265, nestled along the river’s edge, we are conveniently close to the local marina, restaurants, laundromat, gas station, and grocery stores for all of your shopping needs.

American Legion Memorial Bridge (Chamberlain Bridge): This historic bridge connects the towns of Chamberlain and Oacoma across the Missouri River and Lake Francis Case. The bridge was originally completed in September 1925, and was composed of four, 336-foot riveted Pennsylvania through truss spans laid end to end. It was built by the Missouri Valley Bridge & Iron Works of LeavenSculpture of Dignity off of I-90 worth, Kansas at an estimated cost of $303,623 and carried US Highway 16 over the Missouri River. In 1953, Lake Francis Case was created by the new Fort Randall Dam and the bridge became obsolete.

The Wheeler Bridge, originally known as the

2021 DISCOVER

TRAVEL GUIDE

Rosebud Bridge, also completed in 1925, was floated up the river 70 miles and the two bridges were joined to span the new lake. The bridge now carries the Business Loop of I-90.

The main path of I-90 crosses the lake on a modern bridge 1 mile (1.6 km) south of the Chamberlain Bridge and a railroad bridge crosses about 300 yards (270 m) south of I-90.

The community was proud to have the bridge placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. The bridge was completely overhauled during 2011-2012, and in June 2014 there was a bridge rededication.

Arrowwood Resort and Conference Center at Cedar Shore: A full-service resort accommodating your family getaway or providing a romantic setting for two. We offer spacious riverside rooms with a deck or balcony overlooking the Missouri River. If you never leave the outdoor deck, we understand.

Camp along the banks of the Missouri River and enjoy the scenic vistas and restful sounds of the river and wildlife.

Awaken to a spectacular sunrise over the river and end your day with a South Dakota blazing sunset!

Stock up with all your bait, tackle, fishing licenses, on-the-water fuel, snacks and beverages at the floating convenience store on the Missouri River. If you don’t have a boat, we have experienced fishing guides to take you out for a fishing trip you won’t forget.

Dignity: Just off I-90 at the rest area between Exits 263 and 265, this is a sculpture on a bluff overlooking the Missouri River near Chamberlain, South Dakota. Norm and Eunabel McKie of Rapid City, South Dakota announced their gift of Dignity to the State of South Dakota in 2014, in honor of the 125th anniversary of South Dakota statehood.

It was erected September 17, 2016, above the Missouri River at Chamberlain near Interstate 90.

The 50-foot high stainless steel statue by Dale Lamphere of Sturgis, SD depicts an Indigenous woman in Plains-style dress receiving a star quilt. According to Lamphere, the sculpture honors the culture of the Lakota and Dakota peoples who are indigenous to South Dakota. Lamphere sees the sculpture as a beacon of hope shining to all who pass or visit its location.

Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center: More than 200 years after Lewis and Clark marveled at that scenic beauty during their journey up the Missouri River, modern visitors are still marveling at what they see in Chamberlain. In fact, visitors to the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center (at the Chamberlain rest area, I-90 Exit melissamn / 264) can stand on a Shutterstock bluff overlooking the river and feel Clark’s observations come to life. It features interpretive panels and murals reconstructing the expedition journey. Take the scenic walk or view the Missouri River and the community of Chamberlain and Oacoma from a replica keelboat.

Badlands National Park

The Badlands: They don’t just call out to motorists. They don’t just loom on the horizon for miles. They appear suddenly and stunningly, surprising the traveler who isn’t prepared for such sweeping, stark beauty that comes seemingly out of nowhere.

Authorized as Badlands National Monument on March 4, 1929, it was not established until Jan. 25, 1939. It was redesignated a national park on Nov. 10, 1978. It protects 242,756 acres of an expanse of sharply eroded buttes, pinnacles and spires blended with undisturbed mixed grass prairie.

The Badlands Wilderness protects 64,144 acres of the park as a designated wilderness area where bison, bighorn sheep, coyotes, bobcats, deer, elk, rattlesnakes, porcupines, fox, blackbilled magpies, prairie dogs, badgers, and the reintroduced black-footed ferret, the most endangered land mammal in North America, reside.

The South Unit, or the Stronghold Unit, is co-managed with the Oglala Lakota tribe and includes sites of 1890s Ghost Dances, a former United States Air Force bomb and gunnery range, and Red Shirt Table, the park’s highest point at 3,340 feet.

The Badlands annually host about 1 million visitors, most of whom enjoy the scenic drive through the park on the Badlands Loop. This loop – technically, it’s Highway 240, stretching from I-90 near Kadoka to another point on I-90 at Wall – offers an easy, hour-long tour of the Badlands, if no stops are made.

The park also has two campgrounds for overnight visits.

Cedar Pass Campground located near the Ben Reifel Visitor Center, which offers a bookstore, special programs, and exhibits. The Sage Creek Campground is located on the west side of the park’s North Unit, near the Badlands Wilderness Area.

In the summer, the Badlands region is hot and dusty, with little shade and even less drinkable water. Although the automobile and smooth, paved roads have lessened the Badlands’ impact on traveling, the region can still seem inhospitable.

Nonetheless, there are few places so beautiful. The rugged beauty of the Badlands draws visitors from around the world.

These striking geologic deposits contain one of the world’s richest fossil beds. Ancient mammals such as the rhino, horse, and saber-toothed cat once roamed here.

he Black Hills take their name from the Sioux Indian phrase “Paha Sapa,” meaning “hills black.” From a distance, the Black Hills look exactly like that – dark, misty hills rising from the otherwise flat prairie.

Locals tend to divide the Black Hills into two areas: The Southern Hills and The Northern Hills.

The Southern Hills are home to Mount Rushmore National Memorial, Wind Cave National Park, Jewel Cave National Monument, Black Elk Peak (formerly Harney Peak), Custer State Park (one of the largest in the US), the Crazy Horse Memorial (the largest sculpture in the world) and the Mammoth Site in Hot Springs, the world’s largest mammoth research facility.

Hills include Spearfish Canyon, Historic Deadwood and the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, held each August.

Yet the greatest fun in South Dakota’s quiet mountain range happens off the beaten path. Within the Black Hills National Forest are 11 water reservoirs, 450 miles of hiking trails, dozens of campgrounds and some 1,300 miles of clear, coldwater streams.

But the name “Hills” is misleading.

Eighteen of the Black Hills’ peaks surpass 7,000 feet, including Black Elk Peak (formerly Harney Peak), which at 7,242 feet is the highest point in the United States east of the Rockies.

“hills black” that have beckoned to travelers and adventure-seekers for centuries.

Rapid City is the second largest city in the state of South Dakota.

Named after Rapid Creek, on which the city was established, it is set against the eastern slope of the Black Hills mountain range. Known as the “Gateway to the Black Hills” and the “City of Presidents,” it is split by a low mountain ridge that divides the western and eastern parts of the city.

Ellsworth Air Force Base is located on the outskirts of the city. There is a thriving downtown, with scores of shops, restaurants and bars, and friendly people eager to welcome you.

It’s a good place to plan day trips from.

Bear Country USA

Bear Country USA: For animal lovers, it doesn’t get much better. Bear Country is a unique, three mile drive-through wildlife park where visitors can see North American animals including bears, bison, elk, reindeer, and wolves. After you drive through, take a wildlife walkaround, where you can view park offspring, smaller animals and the playful antics of bear cubs.

Black Elk Peak: Formerly known as Harney Peak, at 7,242 feet, it is the highest point in South Dakota and the highest point east of the Rockies. In August 2016 the peak’s name was changed to honor Nicholas Black Elk, a Lakota Sioux medicine man, who was a second cousin of the war chief Crazy Horse and also once toured with Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show.

Don’t let the peak intimidate you, though. If you’re in decent shape, you can hike one of several trails to the top and enjoy one of the best views anywhere in the country.

The memorial was commissioned by Henry Standing Bear, a Lakota elder, to be sculpted by Korczak Ziolkowski. The monument has been in progress since 1948 and is far from completion. In the years since Korczak Ziolkowski’s death in 1982, his family has continued the effort at the site between Custer and Hill City, 17 miles from Mount Rushmore.

Custer State Park

Custer State Park: The park is South Dakota’s largest and first state park, dating back to 1897. It was named after the famed Civil War and Old West soldier Lt. Colonel George Armstrong Custer.

The area started as 16 separate sections, but was changed into one block of land because of the challenges of the terrain.

The park grew rapidly in the 1920s, and during the 1930s the Civilian Conservation Corps built miles of roads, laid out parks and campgrounds, and built three dams that set up a future of water recreation at the park. In 1964 an additional 22,900 acres was added to the park.

The park covers an area of over 71,000 acres of hilly terrain and is home to many wild animals, including a famous herd of free-roaming bison, elk, coyotes, mule deer, white-tailed deer, mountain goats, prairie dogs, bighorn sheep, river otters, pronghorn antelope, cougars, and feral burros.

In 1965, the annual buffalo roundup and auction were begun. Held each September, the bison are rounded up, and several hundred are sold so that the remaining number of animals will be compatible with the available rangeland food.

Custer State Park bears visible scars from the 2017 fire that unleashed 100-foot high flames across 54,000 acres. But, if there’s any place that can recover quickly from such a furious fire, it is this park. That is the optimistic and science and history-supported prediction made by the South Dakota Game, Fish & Parks Department.

Deadwood

Deadwood: Deadwood was born in the wake of the discovery of gold in the Black Hills during the 1874 Custer Expedition. It was packed with miners, opportunists, cutthroats, gamblers, prostitutes, pimps, bar owners and businessmen eager to have their own share of the gold. The town boomed for several years, but three massive fires and continued economic hard times slowed its growth by the end of the 1800s.

By the mid-20th century it was a dusty, somewhat forgotten footnote in Western lore. Tourists stopped, but the town itself struggled to pay its bills and keep businesses and people.

In 1961, the entire town was declared a National Historic Landmark. It was the first time an entire community received this recognition.

In 1989, gambling was reintroduced and a new Deadwood was born. The town became filled with casinos and shops catering to tourists.

In 2004, the cable channel HBO began airing its award-winning series “Deadwood.” The show depicted what life might have been like during the early, rough-and-tumble days of the town.

There is always something to do in Deadwood; not much has changed, it’s still a town wild at heart. Walk in the footsteps of legends at the historic attractions or belly-up to the buffet and enjoy a Wild West feast.

Hot Springs: A charming, historic town tucked away in the southwest corner of the state, just a short drive from Custer State Park. Experience one of the world’s greatest fossil treasures; tour the ancient sinkhole and stand on the edge of discovery at The Mammoth Site. See an active paleontological excavation of Ice Age animals. This 41,000 sq. ft. research center is recognized worldwide for its interpretation and exhibits. A must for families with hands-on exhibits. The following were added to the site in 2015: Learning Center; two 53-seat theaters; HD Introductory Video; Wireless TourGuide System; Exhibit/Gathering Area and Universally Accessible Walkways.

Keystone: Nestled in the beautiful Black Hills just a short distance from Mount Rushmore National Memorial, Keystone is an attraction in itself. Check out the Keystone History Museum and learn about the people who discovered gold in Battle Creek, located Keystone’s gold mines and founded the town.

Also learn the history of Gutzon Borglum, Peter Norbeck, C.C. Gideon, Carrie Ingalls, “Wild Horse” Harry Hardin and Sugar Babe. Walk down the main road and you’ll find the Rushmore Mountain Taffy Shop along with more handmade candy shops, Old-Time photos, ride a chairlift, play miniature golf, ride horseback, take a helicopter ride, pet cute little critters, ride a vintage passenger train, explore a cave and so much more.

Mount Rushmore

Mount Rushmore National Memorial: It’s a national icon, a massive sculpture and the enduring image of South Dakota. The monument was carved into the granite face of a mountain in the Black Hills by master sculptor Gutzon Borglum, his son Lincoln Borglum and their team of brave, dedicated workers.

Work was launched in 1927 and continued until October 1941. Gutzon Borglum did not live to see it completed, nor did his vision of the four presidents depicted from head to waist come to fruition. Borglum did succeed in creating perhaps the most famous sculpture in American history.

The monument is dominated by the largest face, and the only one with parts of his chest and shoulders shown, George Washington (1732–1799); next to him is his fellow Virginian, Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826); with Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919), who explored the Black Hills and loved the area, tucked in the middle. At the right edge is Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865). The memorial park covers about 1,278 acres. While there has been a lot of discussion of adding faces to Mount Rushmore, including Susan B. Anthony, John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, officials insist no more faces will be placed on it due to the instability of the mountain.
