Rapid City is home to the famous Black Hills and thus, you’ll find many mountain bike trails and rock climbing locations. Ironically though it’s not what’s in the mountains that draw people here, it’s actually what’s on them. The larger than life faces of four presidents found on Mount Rushmore are the major reason why so many come to visit. The name Rapid City didn’t come from the speed of the people but rather a creek that runs throughout it. In fact, there are hundreds of miles of rivers that meander throughout the area, giving you plenty of places to drop in a fishing line. Shoppers will enjoy Rapid City as well since they can leave with a memory of the area by purchasing some unique Black Hills jewelry.
