Cult status. Plan to window shop Hill City's Main St. during your 45 minute wait for a table. p.s. For dinner they only serve 1 thing--filet mignon with a wedge of lettuce & ranch, its sooo good. They do offer a more varied lunch menu.

Plan a stop here if you have alread done Mt. Rushmore, or if you have time to do both. Be sure to watch the video, the story behind this monument is incredible, and it's actually our favorite special attraction in the Hills.

On location with Dances with Wolves--seriously, this is where the closing scene was filmed. This is such a beautiful drive through the canyon, with a few paved trails that are friendly for all ages to get out of the car. Allow for a 1 hour drive from Rapid City and several hours for the canyon.
