To get to South Dakota from Denver, you point your car north and just keep on going. At one point we hung a right, and 30 minutes later we arrived at our destination in South Dakota. That simple! It's only about a 5 hour drive, who knew!? Best kept Denver secret!
In South Dakota, we met up with my family for my cousin Marty's wedding at Spearfish Canyon Lodge. The lodge and the wedding were absolutely beautiful, and the setting reminded us a lot of Colorado.
After Spearfish, we headed to Mt. Rushmore.
Mom, dad, Mollie, Christine, Charles, Aubri and Alayna camped in Custer State Park and we opted for a hotel room in the town of Custer. This was Big Red and the 5th wheel camper's inaugural trip.
Near Custer State Park was this beautiful lake. We're already plotting a weekend trip back to stay near the lake. It was absolutely beautiful.
We spent a lot of time animal watching in Custer State Park - the buffalo were incredible! It is just after birthing season so the moms and calves were out together. Lots of cute little baby buffaloes, with packs of proud mamas. The bulls were nowhere to be found, haha! I liked this shot of Mollie in her element, photographing our trip along the way. Overall, we had such a great trip with our family and really enjoyed seeing South Dakota. I can't say that South Dakota or Colorado are more beautiful, they are just different :)
