Rapid City
Rapid City lies east of Black Hills National Forest in western South Dakota. It's known as a gateway to Mt. Rushmore, the massive iconic sculpture of 4 U. S. presidents. “City of Presidents,” a series of life-size statues, spans several blocks downtown. North of Rapid Creek, which bisects town, the Journey Museum & Learning Center offers local history and geology exhibits. Snakes are on view at Reptile Gardens zoo.
