Introducing South Dakota
Some of the most arresting scenery in the entire country is found here, tucked away in this remote and wild state. The weirdly lunar formations of the Badlands, like an inverted Grand Canyon, are unmissable. Then there’s the Black Hills, full of forests, mountains, creeks, canyons, wildlife and two of the country’s most recognizable monuments: Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse. Elsewhere there are important Native American sites and some pleasant cities to explore.
