South Dakota’s Wild Heart: Wind Cave, Badlands & Beyond (States 22 | Parks 19 & 20)
South Dakota completely stole our hearts. 🏔️🦬
From the eerie underground passages of Wind Cave to the otherworldly spires of Badlands National Park — our 19th and 20th national parks did not disappoint. Add in the iconic faces of Mount Rushmore, the incredible Crazy Horse Memorial still being carved from the mountain, and more wildlife than we could count (bison, bighorn sheep, pronghorn, prairie dogs — it was a full safari moment), and you’ve got one of the most underrated states in the country.
South Dakota, you are state 22 checked off and we are already planning our return. 🇺🇸
