Recently we got the chance to visit South Dakota and much of the beauty it has to offer. We visited Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, and Badlands National Park. There was no shortage of stunning views, and the animal sightings along the way made it even more memorable. Check out a few of the images we captured, then plan a visit yourself!
