Rapid City is the second largest town in the state, and it is home to the Dinosaur Park, a great attraction for children and dinosaur enthusiasts.

While it may not seem that South Dakota offers a lot of the traveler, this is not the case. It is home to Sturgis, a city that is known for the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. In addition to these attractions, there are a number of parks and forests in South Dakota. Some of the most prominent include the Black Hills National Forest and the Badlands National Park. Those who are interested in history will want to stop by the Chief Crazy Horse Memorial. This mountain is known for being one of the largest statues in the world.
