We are planing our Wedding Honeymoon through South Dakota on the Harley. Can not wait to see this amazing state. What is the average weather during late July early August?

Great post! My husband and I are heading out there next week. Quite different views than Wisconsin where we live. Great blog too. We write a blog too called, “Adventures in Travel”.

Hi Andre,

It’s really hard to answer that question, as the weather can be quite unpredictable that time of year. I’d say you’d want to plan for the worst and then be pleasantly surprised if the weather holds up.

I am planning to fly in on 5th march and have a whole day 6 march and plan to rent a car. Is it easy and safe to drive in early march. How would you plan the drive to cover Mt Rushmore and Crazy Horse and Sylvan Lake Custer State Park , Mt Coolidge, Needles Highway and Iron Mtn Road .

Thanks so much for your import on South Dakota, I am planning to do this, this summer for our 50th wedding anniversary. We are from West Michigan and these are going to be our first stops. Then we want to venture to Bryce, Zion and sequoia. Then doing route 66. What are your thoughts on all of this?

In reply to sonny holley. Quite frankly that all depends on which you prefer. Personally I normally favor backroads, but you'll make the trip faster on the interstate.

My husband and I are planning a trip the end of August of this year. We have always wanted to go out west for years. I have a terminal illness, so we bought a new van so I can lay down and rest when I need to on our trip. We are coming from WV,so I am trying to find things to do in each state for here to SD, that doesn’t require a lot of walking or climbing. I can’t wait to see buffalo in the wild and someone mentioned something about panning for gold I would love that. It can’t get here quick enough. Thanks for the pictures and information!
