Denver to Rapid City & Beyond: How to See it All

We recently took a trip to South Dakota and when I told people we were going to South Dakota they all asked why. And I’ll tell you why: because I hadn’t been there.

We flew into Denver (from Texas), drove through Rocky Mountain National Park, through Nebraska, and then spent 5 nights in Rapid City in order to see all the surrounding areas. On this trip we saw so many things, and I’m gonna break it all down for you below but before we get to that, here’s a handy list to help you.
