South Dakota Travel Guide, Road Trip Itinerary, Black Hills Sights

I love the detail you put in these videos!

Thanks ,Lotta of information heading out there in June on motorcycle gives us ideas to look out and see

Loved your video!

Hay please visit the reservations in south dakota...see the people that made it all possible,see how they live now

We have camped in the Spearfish city campground. It’s very nice.

TIPS 4 TOURISTS U NEED TO HEAR
-Don’t be jerks and try to touch get close to our animals, we don’t come to suburbia and climb over your fences and try to pet your dogs. STAY IN YOUR VEHICLE ON THE ROADS!
-Did you know that tipping housekeepers is actually really appreciated and traditional?? And do not assume you won’t see the staff, we go to the local restaurants/bars too. Be courteous!
-Be sure you check out your surroundings BEFORE you get there! Many places out here do not have 24 hour services. Fill up your gas tanks!
-While driving through the parks DO NOT STOP in the middle of the road!!! Many locals are trying to get to work or travel through to the interstate. And stay in your vehicle even if you see a animal! You have no idea how absolutely dangerous that is and what a jerk that makes you! Your pictures are not more important than safety!
-Be patient with staff and locals! Staff is very busy and since no one thinks they should work hard anymore we are going as fast as we can! STOP GETTING OUT AND HOLDING UP TRAFFIC!
-If you don’t know basic daily tasks then you need to stay home!
-Locals are generally very helpful and welcoming, but taking pictures of us without permission is really rude. We are not sideshow freaks!
-Remember, being rude to the locals is not a good idea and won’t be tolerated!

Enjoy it while it last!

I've been there twice, amazing

awesome explanation

Dogs are not permitted inside the Mt Rushmore gate but you can still get great pictures from the entrance area. I also always suggest going to Keystone. It’s a great tourist town , get an old time photo taken, buy some Black Hills gold jewelry. Ride the train. Bear country is close as well as reptile gardens. The Cosmos is very interesting for the kids. There are even places where you can ride horses . Enjoy this beautiful part of the state!

We're going again in the height of Sturgis!!! We have a big 4x4 and coming through 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Great job, Kris! Really well done videos! Keep up the good work.

Very well done with full of histories and information assembled in one document by you, Kris. you must love this kind of stuff. look forward to seeing more videos from your channel just for learning and possibly for visiting as well.

Very good video! Well put together. We just visited all those places last week. Stunning scenery. Elk, coyotes, yellow bellied marmot, bison, mule deer, Rocky Mtn. Goats, and prong horn sheep can were all observed. I will look forward to visiting again to do some hiking.

I from south Dakota but I always wanted to the towns around the black hills. It's not called devils tower the real name is bears lodge because a 200 foot bear attack some Lakota warriors on the butte. It left its claw marks behind as a reminder.

I am planning almost an identical trip for this summer. How many days did you spend in each place. I imagine Badlands NP will be at least 2 days

Very well done thank you :)

Thank you, I was plotting out a road trip in that area and not only did this video point out a few locations I would have missed, but it gave me great insight to some good hiking trails!

This is an excellent Tavel video, good job Kris!

60 million acres wow

Great video

Can I buy this video

Fantastic video Kris! Thanks!

You did a great job, Dusty. Thanks for inspiring us to follow in your foot steps.

Cool!

I wish I can one day visit this beautiful country.

Wonderful South Dakota, great showing of sights and very informative. Well done 👍. Thanks for sharing and take care 😀.

I really enjoyed your video, and hope you do more! You have a pleasant voice, good information and are very thorough. We really need more videos like this! Thanks for sharing. New subscriber.

Hi Kris, thank you for this guide! Are the photos featured in the video your own? Do you mind saying what time period you did your road trip during? Thanks!

❤

Great video, heading there on Sunday from FL. The book of Enoch explains Devil's Tower were really giant trees, it's petrified wood, there were 200 of them, you'd only have to notice it looks exactly like a giant stump and flat on top, and your eyes are not deceiving you, because it is✌️

"Hot Springs"/"Custer"....

Love the video…great info and guide. I suggest turning the music down during your narration and recording your voice in a room less reverberated. With love. ❤

Is October a good time to visit?

Thanks for this vid. Planning a road trip from Edmonton, Alberta.

That’s a very well done video Kris! Thanks

Great video rich of history and information. Thank you

We visited there about a year ago and loved it and want to see more beautiful state

I was planning on visiting, but with Kristi Noem I don't want to end up in the gravel pit

I was just in SD…already planning my next trip

I just love South Dakota.

Crazy Horse monument is a tourist joke. I saw it in1974. Last visit was 2010. No real change except shops to sell merch.
