With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience all that Pierre, 40 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights starting with South Dakota State Capitol, South Dakota Discovery Center and La Framboise Island. The locals will also likely point you in the direction of Murdo, 45 miles away. If you only see one thing here, let it be South Dakota’s Original 1880 Town. (But we’d also recommend Pioneer Auto Museum and Murdo Golf Course.)
