Rochester, MN
Sioux Falls, SD
Wall, SD – Corn Palace, Badlands, Wall Drug
Custer, SD - Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park-Needles Hwy.
Custer, SD – Wildlife Loop Road in Custer State Park
Buffalo, WY – Devil’s Tower

Yellowstone NP – too much to list
Jackson, WY – Grand Teton NP
Cheyenne, WY
Lincoln, NE
St. Louis, MO – Gateway Arch, Museum of Westward Expansion
Columbus, OH
Buffalo, NY
Home again

Planning for this trip has taken place over several months, starting with the reservations inside Yellowstone that were made 6 months ago. From there research into National Parks, State Parks, and other attractions firmed up the plans. Along the way we bought a new travel car, a 2010 Toyota Prius which should make the trip comfortable and minimize fuel cost.

Follow our “wanderings” as we expect to post regular updates to this site.
