South Dakota brings prairie oddities and tourist traps that somehow work—giant prairie dogs, corn palaces, and Wall Drug’s relentless billboard campaign. Some of these we’ve visited, others are still on our list. When we’ve been somewhere, the link takes you to our photo page with details and snark. Otherwise, you’ll head to their official site (assuming one exists—sometimes that’s half the adventure).
