South Dakota
What is the Spirit of America? It’s something you will discover
in South Dakota.
It is magnificent scenery and breathtaking beauty. It is crystal
clear waters and bright blue skies that go forever. It is history
and legendary characters like Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane.
It's a modern-day adventure that lets you roam among the buffalo
in Custer State Park or explore the moon-like surfaces of Badlands
National Park. The spirit of America is what dares us to dream
and moves us to carve mountains.
Capture this spirit in South Dakota with a visit to Mount Rushmore
National Memorial or Laura Ingalls Wilder's childhood home in De
Smet. Feel it as you visit the Falls of the Big Sioux River or
kayak down the Missouri River. You will be inspired by it as you
explore our rich Old West history and proud American Indian heritage.
South Dakota is brimming with activities.
Fishing and hunting enthusiasts love South Dakota for its great
variety of wildlife and unbeatable locations. South Dakota has
broad expanses of prairie, mountain, lake and river-break country
open for you and your walking shoes. You'll want to explore the
state's hiking trails.
You should see South Dakota in the winter. Skiing, snowmobiling,
skating, ice fishing and the rest are more than fun adventures.
They're wonderful excuses to sightsee in the cold!
Come see the Spirit of America.
