\n

Look deep into nature
\nand you will understand everything better.
\nAlbert Einstein<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I always book hotels with complimentary breakfast. Good saving technique for families. First stop in the morning should be a visit to the historic Falls Park<\/a> that contains the Queen Bee Mill, and the magnificent falls themselves. Sit there a bit or climb around the quart-site rocks, but do this before resuming your journey out of Sioux Falls.<\/p>\n

\"Falls<\/a><\/p>\n

Journey from Sioux Falls to Badlands is less than 4 hours. Remember to pick a sandwich from Subway<\/a>, which is 2 hours away as the restaurants get fewer, towns smaller as you get closer to Badlands.<\/p>\n

If you do not have annual pass, you will have the opportunity at Badlands to get the annual pass or enter for $15 bucks.<\/p>\n

Back in ancient history this part of America was the SEA BED! At Badlands you will see the fossils, the mounds and the color formations caused as a result of being a sea bed. The small park with a few stops to take pictures, etc can be comfortably seen in about 1.5 hours.<\/p>\n

End the day 2 in Rapid City, SD, a drive of another 50 mins.<\/p>\n

Hotel Recommendation with Free Breakfast – Comfort Suites
\n<\/a>Dinner Recommendation – Everest – Nepali Cuisine<\/a> – $$$<\/p>\n
