I found myself in South Dakota for a whirlwind 7-day adventure. The trip was centered around all the fun outdoor activities the great state has to offer, from kayaking in Black Hills National Forest, driving an ATV up forest roads in Spearfish Canyon, hiking in Custer State Park, exploring the cave systems of Wind Cave National Park, to catching sunrise in Badlands National Park.
