Some people told me I was crazy visiting South Dakota in February. And I won’t lie, it’s been really cold. But going to the Badlands this time of year has its advantages. First of all, everything loo…Full review by Stacy H

One of the highlights of our Real America road trip. We left Custer after breakfast and drove to Interior. After a quick stop at Ben Reifel Visitor Center we took some interesting hike (Notch trail,…Full review by pizote67
We will be coming from Valentine, NE with our Airbnb in keystone, sd. We are deciding whether or not to go straight north to hit the interstate, go north for a bit and take hwy 44, or going west to Chadron then up north. Google maps says going through Pine Ridge is the fastest but I do t want to do that and I heard that the road might even be closed because they are trying to keep COVID out. Is going north through Rosebud an option. Roads are open? I’m assuming it will not be nearly as depressing as traveling through Pine Ridge, is that correct? Chadron is the longest way and since we will be canoeing in the morning, my kids will be really cranky if we take any longer than necessary. Thanks.

I am not familiar with one of the routes you mention, my wife and I drove across the interstate to Keystone with a short stay in Wall to visit the Badlands from there. The Badlands are a little farther from Keystone than from Wall, but food choices and accomodations are much better in Keystone. Also, there are many attractions close to and in Keystone that may be of interest to you and your children, depending on their ages. I hope this helps you and I wish you a very pleasant and enjoyable vacation.
Is it ok to drive a travel trailer camper (med-sized) on The Loop road? I read it's a 2 lane paved road, so I'm thinking that it should be ok. Can anyone confirm?
Making some stops (but not stopping at every pull off), how long should we allow to drive loop road?

I would allow 2 hours to do the Loop Road between the east entrance and the Sage Creek Rim Road. You can probably drive it in just under an hour, so the extra hour allows for a few stops and some views. Trust me when I say this - it's an amazing place to visit - you may find yourself lingering just to absorb all there is to see. I think 2 hours would do for your purposes, but take advantage of as much time as you have available to use. I think you will be happy you did. Safe travels.
