Mount Rushmore is South Dakota’s world-famous attraction (visit the booth between 3pm and 4:30PM to get your picture taken within a postcard of Mount Rushmore and send it to a friend), but this state has so much more to offer.

Sprawling prairies, fertile farmland and glacial lakes dominate the landscape in eastern South Dakota. Prairies and ranchland are common in central South Dakota. Mountains grace the western skyline, and in the southwest, striking Badlands formations rise abruptly from the surrounding prairie.

The Missouri River runs through the central and southeastern part of the state. Lakes, formed by retreating glaciers thousands of years ago, cover the northeastern corner of South Dakota.
