it has so much character! the people are kind and full of joy, the beauty of the landscape is ethereal and capable of leaving one speechless.
the lakes, caves, views and hospitality have been so invigorating and restful for my soul. Also i only get quality time with my family on trips so that’s been special too<3

Last post about this, I promise! I just would've never visited South Dakota had my friends not invited me along on this random lil trip, so I want to share what I've learned with you.
You can fly into Rapid City and visit the otherworldly national park Badlands, the Black Hills, colossal monuments like Mount Rushmore + the Crazy Horse Memorial, huge mountains + thousands of bison in Custer State Park, tiny casinos in the old cowboy town of Deadwood, and you can even cross over into Wyoming to see Devil's Tower.
None of these places are more than an hour-ish drive from each other! And you'll see a lot of variety in terrain along the way.
We visited during the April shoulder season and basically had it all to ourselves. The days before and after our trip were a nice 65-70 degrees & sunny, but as soon as we arrived temps dipped into the low 40s...oh well, it's better than the summer when it all gets crazy hot & crowded. Hotels are cheap & pretty nice. Go somewhere else if you're a food motivated traveler, you'll be mostly eating burgers cooked by the bartender.
Anyways, highly recommend visiting this special place.
I'll be sharing some film shots from the trip on this IG account.
