Badlands are cool, but a long way off from Mt Rushmore. It truly is beautiful there. I spent several weeks driving out there and camping with a boyfriend who was from Custer just after I graduated from college. My aunt and uncle lived right near the big indian stone carving (Crazy Horse) if you are hitting that part of SD, it's definitely worth hitting Crazy Horse and Custer State Park. The bison are so cool.


Have fun - I wish I was there right now!!
