What's the best time to visit South Dakota?

My friend told me that South Dakota is one of the most underrated states in the country. I’m going to take two weeks off to thoroughly explore, but I don’t know when to plan my trip. When’s the best time to visit South Dakota?

South Dakota
floats under the radar of most tourists, but once you arrive, you’ll know you made the right decision. The best time to visit South Dakota is during the summer. While the state may have larger crowds at this time, the warm weather is a nice break from the cold that plagues the state much of the year.
Add a few of these experiences and attractions to your itinerary on your summer trip to South Dakota:
  • Visit the strangely named Wall Drug, which is one of the country’s best roadside attractions.
  • Indulge in a bit of American history by visiting Mount Rushmore.
  • Visit Badlands National Park, which was once used to film alien landscapes in movies from the 1950s and 1960s.
  • Go to the Corn Palace in
    Mitchell
    , which has a giant mural of famous people made entirely out of corn.
South Dakota has plenty of rural areas, so adding
towing and labor coverage
to your
car insurance
policy is a smart move. Explore rates with the
