The fossils of saber-toothed cats and three-toed horses are just a few of the interesting fossils you’ll find here. As well as a national park, there are national monuments including ‘Wind Cave’ and ‘Jewel cave’. These are some of the longest caves in the whole world! You’ll probably have already seen one of the most famous landmarks of the Black Hills; Mount Rushmore is close by. Here you’ll catch a glimpse of Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln, carved into the stone. Badlands is considered one of the best National Parks in the USA.
5. Rocky Mountain National Park
Rocky Mountain National Park consists of around 400 square miles of awe-inspiring mountains, surrounded by rich forests, crystal clear lakes, and wildlife. As you explore the park, you’re likely to spot elk wandering along with you. For biking and horseback trails, there’s plenty of choices. It’s advisable to visit the park in a smaller RV, as there are a few restrictions on larger vehicles (depending on the campsite).
