Take your time, take in the beauty and stop along the way

I loved the drive through the big horns. Cody is a neat place with an amazing museum

Devils Tower and Custer' Last Stand are both good places to stop along the way

We enjoyed seeing Devil's Tower as much or more than Mt Rushmore. Also, hiked through Jewel Cave. Stayed in Deadwood.

Also, if you make it to Custer, stop in at the Purple Pie Place. 🙂

Wind Caves are pretty cool as well and not too far from Custer.

The Black Hills is a really underrated part of the country. Very pretty.

Did a fun family vacation in black hills during Covid…badlands, Custer state

We did the same. In some ways, it was as if Covid didn't exist up there.

Same here. Going there was such a breath of fresh air. SO much to do as well.

If you hit Wall Drug you can’t miss the Corn Palace. Both are life changing.

Isn't the Corn Palace quite a ways from Wall Drug?

Spiff

Jun 19, 9:46am

Yeah looks like about 4 hours east. Worth every mile though!

It's really unique. I still remember going there when I was like 10. Definitely memorable.

Cody Wyo hates Mormons. Hence the lawsuits with the temple there.

Don't go around Sturgis. It gets super busy up there. We couldn't find a room in

The black hills are amazing. I didn't realize Black Hills gold was a thing.

Only avoid Sturgis if it's during the rally (Aug 2-11), and like others have said

Great list in the Black Hills. I would add Bear Country too, which my kids liked

JJCoug

Custer State Park is cool. Walking around Sylvan Lake is worth it

BigEasyCougar

Jun 19, 9:54am

Just a little farther east and you can also visit the Badlands National Park. Worth it, imo.
