To the east the crying prairie winds, along with the centuries of rain have formed deep gorges and sharp lunar-like spires have given a strange beauty to this desolate land called the Badlands. It was the French-Canadian trappers in search of beaver to the west who were the first men to record their impression of the badlands. They called the region les manuvaises terres a traverser (bad land to travel across). Once home to prehistoric birds, marine life, carnivores, and herbivores, the Badlands National Park is a paleontologist's field dream. A vacation to South Dakota is not complete without a tour of the Badlands. Seldom Inn is located only 55 minutes away from the Badlands. Visit early morning when temperatures are cool. Restaurant in Wall outside of the park is Wall Drug.

"My fellow chiefs and I would like the white man to know the red man has great heroes too," wrote Lakota Chief Henry Standing Bear when he invited Korczak Ziolkowski to the Black Hills to carve Crazy Horse. When he started work on the monument in 1949 he was almost 40 years old and had only $174 left to his name. Equipped with only a sledge hammer, a single-jack drill bit and a box of dynamite, Korczak went to work creating his 563 x 641 foot three dimension sculpture. Unlike Mt. Rushmore, which used a substantial crew and federal funding it was just Korczak. The epic monument is located 40 minutes from Seldom Inn.

The Needles Highway is more than a 14-mile road—it’s a spectacular drive through pine and spruce forests, meadows surrounded by birch and aspen, and rugged granite mountains. The road’s name comes from the needle-like granite formations that seem to pierce the horizon along the highway.

Experience the road that engineers once said couldn't be built. This winding road runs between Mount Rushmore National Memorial and the junction of US 16A and SD 36 in Custer State Park. Along the highway, visitors will find wildfire exhibits, pigtail bridges, magnificent Black Hills scenery, and tunnels that frame Mount Rushmore. Constructed in 1933 under the direction of Senator Peter Norbeck, only a portion of this road lies within the park, but it is a must-see. Norbeck said of the Iron Mountain Road, "this is not meant to be a superhighway, to do the scenery justice you should drive no more than 20 mph, and to do it full justice you should simply get out and walk."
