Day 6 Rapid City, South Dakota to Sioux Falls, South Dakota

Location: Residence Inn, Sioux Falls, South Dakota
Distance travelled: 400 miles
Total hours driven: 7 hours
States crossed: South Dakota
Time left Rapid City: 12 pm
Time arrived Sioux Falls: 2 am local time
Time zone crossed: Mountain time to Central time, + 1 more hour

Getting to a lateish start as usual, we backtracked a little bit to Crazy Horse Memorial, the native american Mt Rushmore. Although not complete yet, when completed it will be the worlds largest monument. Right now all that's visible is the head.



Crazy Horse itself isn't too impressive, but the museum displaying native art and artifacts makes it more worth it. My sister liked Crazy Horse better than Mt Rushmore because of its culture. After driving for another hour and a half, we reached Badlands National Park, a park of rock formations. The pictures describe it better.



























 While watching a nice sunset, we started driving the 4 more hours to Sioux Falls.
