We did nearly the whole month of June, leaving GA with a 14 yo GD, heading to the Oregon Coast, up into WA and over to SD.
We spent 2n in Sturgis to do Laundry and see Deadwood before we headed to Rapid City for Reservations. But we should have stayed at the KOA outside of Devil's Tower on our way to Sturgis from Little Big Horn, MT instead of backtracking. But it was worth it just for a day trip.
Day 1) We went to Days of '76 Museum in Deadwood, and walked around town. It was mostly Bars and not much to see or many places to eat. So went to historic Fort Meade. Very small museum.
Day 2) Devil's Tower and then headed straight to Rapid City RV Park
Day 3) Mt Rushmore, we walked around the loop and then headed over to Crazy Horse. I almost liked Crazy Horse better. Easier to park and while we didn't get as close, they had a good restaurant onsite.
Day 4) Went to Bear Country USA, after Ziplining in Keystone, then the Reptile Gardens. DH and GD did the Keystone Zip Line, quick, but worth the $'s.
Day 5) Wall Drug was a nice diversion heading home. We spent an hour walking around, ate Lunch, then continued to the Loop through the Badlands. From there we spent the night in Mitchell, but didn't need to see the Corn Palace.
