Our South Dakota Vacation

by fullplate , Jul 02 '05
Pros: Just a fantastic area with a ton to do.
Cons: Too much to do in a week's time.
Wall: Wall Drug: Ok...so it's a tourist trap. At least you know what you're getting into! My kids (ages 7,9,11) absolutely loved all of the goofy props they could poke their head into or climb on (gorilla, horse, etc.) to get their picture taken. ...

South Dakota: an unsuspected trip of a lifetime

by jaszi29 , Apr 26 '02
Pros: Outstanding beauty and Native American history....a true spiritual experience
Cons: Tourist traps and some over-rated national monuments.
The best way to travel South Dakota is by car. The eastern part of the state is pretty dull but the minute you enter Badlands National Park, you've entered a true paradise. My recommendation is that you start your trip in the Badlands and head west....
