South Dakota's location right in the heart of America has historically made the state a road-tripping crossroads. The fact that so many area attractions are worth visiting has kept it popular with those in search of a Great American Road Trip. A group of these attractions, the Great Eight, make up some of the country's most iconic roadside stops, prettiest parks, quirkiest small towns, and legendary monuments. From the scenic, sweeping Missouri River, to the prairies and pinnacles of Badlands National Park, to the stony, stern gaze of the presidents at Mount Rushmore, the Great Eight is as quintessential a road trip as you can find.
