Things to do
Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, Lincoln, and Crazy Horse
Most visitors pick a Rapid City vacation rental because it's the ideal place from which to launch a wild west exploration. Mount Rushmore is just 30-minutes away by car, so you can enjoy a scenic drive as you get ready to meet four American heroes. For a glimpse of a fifth American hero, drive a bit further into the Black Hills National Forest and say hi to Crazy Horse, a powerful Lakota Indian whose likeness is still being carved into the rock face. Carving began in 1948, and you can observe construction before setting off on a wilderness hike.
Activities
There are just enough parks for all the presidents
No matter how rapid your walking, you likely won't have time to tour all six city parks in Rapid City. Some frame Rapid Creek as it runs through town and feature prime fishing spots. Others have swimming pools, gazebos, sandy volleyball courts, and tidy picnic areas. When you get hungry, stroll into downtown for a bite or a drink. If kids are in tow, they'll love looking for all 42 life-sized statues that make up the City of Presidents, one of the largest publicly owned displays on city streets.
Weather
Black Hill beauty in rain, shine, or snow
You can be happy with a Rapid City vacation rental at any time of year. The weather varies widely, but the Black Hills and babbling brooks make everything beautiful. Spring is sunny and cool with chilly nights. Late spring is the rainy season (which isn't saying much in this semi-arid climate), but bring your rain gear and be prepared. Summers are warm, with hot afternoons and cool nights, and fall temps are much like spring's, with first snowfall hitting around October. Winters are cold and snowy, so trade in your hiking boots for snowshoes and bundle up.
Natural features
Bison, eagles, and more that'll make you feel majestic
Is it possible to be surrounded by too much breathtaking landscape? Too many photogenic animals? Hopefully, your answer is no. Just a few miles west of your Rapid City vacation rental is Custer State Park, 71,000 acres of terrain where bighorn sheep, antelope, and wild turkeys run free. If those critters aren't enough to exhaust your shutter finger, look for the roaming herd of 1,300 bison. Bear Butte State Park is an hour's drive north and particularly suited to bird watchers. Look for bald eagles, turkey vultures, prairie falcons, and owls.
