South Dakota

South Dakota is the land of ‘Great Faces, Great Places’, with a welcoming smile and plenty to discover! The state offers infinite variety, reflected in the rolling prairies and glittering lakes, to granite peaks and towering pines. This welcoming region gives you the best of the West, combining authentic parlours and gaming tables in historic Deadwood, where miners rubbed shoulders with gamblers and gun-slingers, to over 77,000 square miles of scenic vistas ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, canoeing, fishing, or galloping through the Black Hills on horseback.

Badlands National Park is not to be missed for jaw dropping, out-of-this-world scenery. Be sure to stop by Jewel Cave National Monument and Wind Cave National Park to discover some of the longest natural caves in the world. Visit Rapid City for a fine selection of Native American arts, crafts and jewellery or visit one of South Dakota’s nine Indian reservations. No trip through South Dakota would be complete without visiting the spectacular mountain carving of Mount Rushmore, the nation’s Shrine to Democracy, and seeing history in the making at the nearby Crazy Horse Memorial, honouring the Native American Warrior.
