It was once known as the "Black to Yellow Trail," a stretch of highway promoted as the shortest route — and most scenic highway — from Chicago to Yellowstone National Park. While a paved two-lane road may have been high-tech decades ago, highways are today the place for people who want to explore without billboards or traffic. With this modern pioneer spirit in mind, I’ve cruised Highway 14 several times in search of unique sites, entertainment and, of course, food. Here’s what I’ve discovered to be the best of South Dakota's historic “Black to Yellow Trail.”

South Dakota Highway 20 passes through nearly two-dozen East River towns between Minnesota and the Missouri River. Only four have more than 300 people. Motorists often choose U.S. Highway 12 through Aberdeen or U.S. Highway 212 through Watertown when traversing the state’s northeastern quarter, so Highway 20 has become less traveled. The route could be considered one of our most rural highways, and it’s worth exploring. We found 200 year old pianos, South Dakota’s only pressed flower artist, legends of a prankster Indian chief, Civil War history (Union and Confederate) and new businesses injecting life into small towns.
The Missouri River, spanning 2,300 miles, is the longest in the U.S., holding historical, ecological and geographical importance. It's also a must-see landmark in South Dakota. Check out fun facts about the Missouri River here.
