What to do and see in Rapid City, South Dakota (SD): The Best Things to do for Honeymoon
Rapid City has long been considered one of the gateways to the West, and its rich cowboy and Native American heritage is the result. Visitors won't want to miss the area's mammoth outdoor sculptures. There's Mount Rushmore, of course, but work also continues on the nearby Crazy Horse Memorial, which will be the largest sculpture in the world when it is finally completed years down the line. Among the many local attractions are the scenic Black Hills, several nearby cavern systems that offer guided tours and the South Dakota Air and Space Museum.

2. Black Hills Outdoor Fun

Welcome to Black Hills Outdoor Fun where ATV tours are our specialty! Most people like to ride atv's throughout the Black Hills National Forest but tend to not know the trails very well and spend most of the time looking at a map and missing out on the beauty of the surroundings. We offer a guided tour that is a 4 hour round trip which includes a short hike. You will have your own ATV or UTV to drive. Experience is needed when riding the ATV and none is needed to drive the UTV. Children under 4 are not able to ride due to the length of the tour and safety of the small children. Stay at one of our homes on Edelweiss Mountain and you will receive 20% off the tour. The tour is dusty at times, wet at times, and bumpy most of the time. Call for more details. We would love to have you enjoy the National Forest.

On a rather warm day in Rapid City we walked the length and breadth of the downtown the lifelike bronzes of the past presidents - it was a good walk and let us see a bit more of Rapid City than we would have other wise - we made a game out of it by trying to guess who that was across the street - as others have said shame it was not in order and I second that emotion!!
