The largest National Parks in South Dakota are Black Hills National Forest, Badlands, and Wind Cave. Badlands is very beautiful but is far out east on the plains and there are not very many surrounding towns. Black Hills National Forest and Wind Cave are actually in the Black Hills so there are plenty of larger towns like Rapid City, Spearfish, Hot Springs, Sturgis, Deadwood, Custer, and Hill City.
I have determined South Dakota it is...if it all works out. I would settle for New Mexico, North Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana, but it wouldn't really be settling because it would still be beautiful.
Aw thanks. All my dads and friends stories make me want to be there more and more. But I have to be patient. Two years is such a long time...
