I was fortunate enough to have been out there for only a couple days last summer. I really want to go back and see so many of the other things in the area. Custer State park was awesome to drive through. The needle highway and especially the Iron Mountain Road (highway 16A) are absolutely gorgeous and have some incredible views and turns.

I found Mt Rushmore to be way cooler than I expected.

Deadwood is a neat place but I unfortunately didn’t get to spend too much time there.

Downtown Rapid City has the walk of Presidents, a bunch of statues of former presidents on different street corners.
