Mt. Rushmore doesn't take a lot of time--an hour or so.

Badlands--okay to drive through. Scenery is pretty. We have camped there a few times.

The Black Hills are very nice to see too--buffalo can be spotted.You will go through them to get to Mt. Rushmore.

Devil's Tower--do not miss! It is great. You can walk all around it on paths, and watch the climbers if you don't do any climbing yourself.

Yellowstone: you can easily spend a week there. We extended our stay there and canceled another park just to stay longer.

We drove south through the Grand Tetons, then headed home (east).

We mostly camped on our three trips out there. National Parks have a lot to offer for campers, but not electrical hookups, at least the last time we were there.
