Custer State Park: South Dakota’s lesser-known gem

South Dakota tourism just doesn’t stop at Mount Rushmore. It doesn’t even stop at Wall Drug or Badlands National Park. No, the Plains State keeps its travel attractions coming with Custer State Park. It’s definitely the forgotten travel destination in an area overflowing with road trip-friendly stops. Well, tack this one on your road trip, too. With beautiful scenery, wildlife, and no Yellowstone-like traffic jams, Custer State Park is a must see for those who want the great American road trip experience.

Badlands National Park: see, South Dakota has more than Mount Rushmore

Whether you go camping here or just drive through on your American road trip towards Mount Rushmore, the Badlands National Park in South Dakota is definitely worth a visit. It’s a unique national park. Yellowstone and Yosemite don’t look anything like this guy.

South Dakota’s Mount Rushmore, a.k.a. “Four Face Mountain”

Mount Rushmore could very well be the most American national landmark there is.  The faces of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt carved into a mountain–pretty American.  Plus, it’s in South Dakota, smack dab in the middle of the United States.  That’s gotta raise its landmark ranking.  Here’s a travel tip: go sometime not close to the Fourth of July. That way you can get an extra dose of patriotism during the patriotic dry season. Or you can go all out and visit on Independence Day weekend, but you won’t be the only one thinking of that idea. Good luck with parking.
