South Dakota Family Trip | Badlands, Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park
SOUTH DAKOTA FAMILY TRIP
In this vlog we went to:
Badlands National Park:
Mount Rushmore National Monument:
Crazy Horse Memorial:
Custer State Park:
My personal favorite was Crazy Horse Memorial because of all of the rich culture and the variety of what they had to offer - the monument, a historical area with hundreds and hundreds of artifacts, two restaurants, a gift shop, an art exhibit, a buffalo museum, a traditional performance from a man and woman of Native American decent in full regalia who also explained everything as they were performing. It will be amazing to follow the sculpture and see how it turns out in the next decades to come.
The badlands were also awesome, but unless you are a hardcore hiker or photographer, you really only need one day to visit the Badlands.
Custer was beautiful too, but they had so much to offer, and is definitely a place you camp at and explore, or stay at some of their cottages. It was incredibly beautiful.
If you do decide to go to Mt Rushmore and Crazy Horse in the same day, go to Mt Rushmore first or else you will be disappointed. Be sure to subscribe!

???????? Black Hills, Mt Rushmore, Custer , South Dakota travel vlog
Couple days of Black Hills in South Dakota
The Black Hills and Badlands of South Dakota: Outdoors and Cultural Attractions
Visit the Black Hills and Badlands region of South Dakota for iconic attractions and adventures at Mt Rushmore, Custer State Park, Badlands National Park and Crazy Horse Memorial
RV TRIP TIP: Mt. Rushmore, Custer SP & the Black Hills of SD
While Mount Rushmore is the most well-known attraction in the Black Hills of South Dakota, there are lots of great things to see and do here. We just scratched the surface on this easy, one-day scenic drive.
Although Yellowstone National Park is probably the most famous place to see bison (buffalo), Custer State Park has one of the largest publicly-owned herds in the world, roaming freely throughout the park and often stopping traffic along the the road.
Connecting Custer State Park and Mount Rushmore National Memorial, the Iron Mountain Road is a work of art in itself. The highway passes through some of the most beautiful scenery in the Black Hills and includes three tunnels that frame Mount Rushmore in the distance. The road is famous for its Pigtail Bridges that allow travelers to gain or lose elevation quickly.
The Needles Highway is a spectacular drive through pine and spruce forests, meadows surrounded by birch and aspen and rugged granite mountains. Completed in 1922, the road's name comes from the needle-like granite formations you'll see along the way. It also has the longest, and coolest, tunnel!
Of course we visit Mount Rushmore National Memorial too, as no trip to the area would be complete without experiencing this amazing site up close. We hike the easy 6/10-mile Presidential Trail for stunning views almost directly beneath the granite faces.
This is only the beginning of the spectacular scenery in the Black Hills. For the more adventurous, be sure to visit Wind Cave National Park and Harney Peak if you have more time to spend in this beautiful part of the world.
We stayed in one of the many full-hook-up commercial RV parks in the area, but there are lots of State Park and National Forest campgrounds to choose from as well.
If you haven't yet visited the Black Hills, maybe this quick snapshot of the area will inspire you to add it to your must-see list. The admission price to the Custer State Park is well worth it!

The great American vacation: Rapid City
Rapid City doesn’t get its fair share of attention. Nor does the region itself. The terrain here in western South Dakota—from the Black Hills to the Badlands to the sweeping grasslands—has an otherworldly power you have to experience to understand.
The nexus of all this terrain is Rapid City. From here, our crew ventured out to awesome local sites. Traveling as a family, they wanted to see lots of wildlife, and so they hit up the Reptile Gardens as well as Bear Country USA. They also weren’t afraid of some classic video game action at the Press Start Arcade, nor some rad “mountain coaster” rides at the Rush Mountain Adventure Park. Finally, they explored Badlands National Park and of course got some great shots of Mt. Rushmore.
Plan to spend at least a week in this area when you come through, and know that Rapid City is ready serve as your ultimate home base.
