South Dakota, one of the north-central prairie states of the United States,
has an abundance of unspoiled nature, huge, fertile fields and historic pioneer
cities. Sioux Falls, the region's largest city and home to the eponymous
waterfall, is located near the eastern border with Minnesota. At the other end
of South Dakota is Rapid City, the gateway to the Black Hills with its
mountains, caves, forests and lakes.
The most famous landmark in South Dakota is the Mount Rushmore National
Memorial in the southwest, which consists of four 18-meter-high, rock-hewn heads
of former presidents of the United States (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson,
Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln).
The world's largest rock sculpture, the Crazy Horse Memorial, is currently
being built in the Black Hills and will be many times larger than Mount
Rushmore. The horse's head alone is as big as all four of Mount Rushmore's
presidents put together. When completed, this monumental sculpture in honor of
Crazy Horse should be 171 m high and 195 m long.

Vacation spots & excursions
South Dakota is pretty slow, there are no big cities. Sioux Falls with
almost 90,000 inhabitants is the largest city in the state. A visit to the Pettigrew
Museum will familiarize you with the history and culture of the Dakota
tribe that gave South and North Dakota their names. Sioux Falls and Rapid
City are good starting points for exploring South Dakota and are easily
accessible by plane. The biggest tourist attraction is the Mount Rushmore
Memorial. The faces of four American presidents were carved out of the
mountain in more than ten years of work. Nature lovers should visit the Black
Hills National Forest, the BadlandsVisit National Park
and the Wind Cave National Park. Buffalos in the wild can be
seen in Custer State Park.
