About this activity
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Museum of Geology, 501 East Saint Joseph Street 3rd Floor of O'Hara Builidng on SDSMT campus, Rapid City, SD 57701-3901
"What the mind does not know, the eye cannot see", is especially true of the Badlands. Here is where the veil of mystery will be lifted from the Badlands and its secrets revealed. This is the scientific institution where the geology and paleontology of the Badlands were defined and understood. The time spent here with your local experts will open your mind to what is to come.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Badlands National Park, 25216 Ben Reifel Pl, Interior, SD 57750-7020
The Badlands are as large and diverse as they are legendary. Fortunately this is a private tour, and you are free to determine how you spend your time there. Here is what we recommend: 1) Travel to the ghost town of Scenic, SD and the remote Sheep Mountain Table area. This is an area that few get to see and, you are ready to experience and understand; 2) Journey the Badlands Scenic Byway and stop at the park visitor center and several overlooks and trails.
Duration: 6 hours
Stop At: Wall Drug, 510 Main Street Po Box 401, Wall, SD 57790
Wall Drug is a classic American Roadside Attraction! It is a monument to the free enterprise system. You should see it just to restore your faith in entrepreneurs and how things can be done right. Oh yes, and you can eat and buy souvenirs there too.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Minuteman Missile National Historic Site, 24545 Cottonwood Rd, Philip, SD 57567-7002
This is a National Historic Site about the Cold War and the missile fields that existed here. We can visit the preserved missile silo and visitor center or spend more time in the Badlands or somewhere else. The choice is yours.
Duration: 1 hour
