For day 4, explore the largest city in the Black Hills, Rapid City! This city is home to some very unique attractions, making it a fun place to spend a day!
We’re sharing our top Rapid City, but you want more ideas of things to do and places to eat, check out this link.
- Kickoff the morning with coffee at Pure Bean which has great coffee.
- Walk around downtown and complete The City of President Walk. Rapid City is nicknamed the “City of Presidents” and they have life sized, bronze statues of every past US president all over downtown. It’s fun to walk around and see which ones you can recognize from afar. We got maybe 50% right! But if you’re looking for a specific president, you can see up there said “LINK”.
- Wander through Art Alley, which is an alley downtown that has tons of murals to check out!
- Drive a little bit out of downtown to visit the Chapel in the Hills, which is an exact replica of the Borgund Stave church in Norway and the property is also home an authentic grass roofed stabbur (or storehouse) which was built in Norway and then shipped to Rapid City and reassembled. It’s free to visit, but they do take donations! Plus with kids do hunting gnomes!
- Another unique, international thing to see in Rapid City is a part of the Berlin Wall! It’s pretty cool!
