With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience all that Hill City, 25 miles away, has to offer. Teddy Bear Town ought to be at the top of your list here. Horse Thief Lake and Prairie Berry Winery are fantastic attractions too. Don’t forget about Rapid City either! Just 30 miles away, Watiki Water Park, Dinosaur Park and Rushmore Mall are must-sees here.
