A very cool thing to do is at the crazy horse monument. You will have to look this up. I think it's the first weekend in June they close the mountain down and you can walk to the top. It is very cool to stand on his arm and look into his face and then turn around and get a great view.

www.spfcanyon.com is a great lodge we stayed at while the family ATV out there right before the rally starts up.
Be sure to get into Custer state park and spend some time there on the roads. Do the Needles Hiway and Iron Mtn road, awesome drives. You can stay at cabins right in Custer state park or you can camp there. We camped there for a week last sumer. There's Wind Cave and Jewel Cave, both are worth seeing. If you like to hike you can hike to the top of Harney Peak, it's the highest point between the Rockies and the Alps, it's a pretty good hike (I think about 3 miles each way) but it's beautiful. In the Northern hills Deadwood is an awesome town and Spearfish canyon is a beautiful drive also. Another great spot to stay is spearfish canyon lodge, even if you don't stay there drive up the road past the lodge and go up to Roughlock falls, very neat area and park. It's a snowmobile trail in the winter.
Have fun!!

Well, If this is your first time to South Dakota I would suggest that you send off for the free travel guide. http://www.travelsd.com/About-SD/Request-Information.aspx
That way you have more ideas about what you can see there and along the way. There is just way to much to list.
