The wide open spaces of South Dakota are home to less than a million people, and this means there is just more space to do your own thing. The state is also home to several impressive cultural museums that offer a look at the various people’s who lived in the region, as well as the famous monument of Mount Rushmore.

The South Dakota Department of Tourism Web site offers traveler information, with facts on the state, places to go, things to see, accommodations, attractions, and even a calendar of events. So whether you’re looking to explore the Black Hills, see the Crazy Horse Memorial or take in the Badlands National Park, South Dakota is a big place filled with activities.

The Web site offers maps and directions, up to date weather and road reports and a list of information centers along the major roads. An interactive traveler planner is also provided to help you make the best out of your visit.
