FEATURED FAVORITE

Prairie edge

Located in downtown Rapid City, Prairie Edge is part Native American art gallery, part historic trading post - and 100% worth a visit. It’s one of Carson’s favorite places to stop and explore, offering everything from traditional crafts and artwork to unique books and handmade goods. Whether you're browsing or buying, it's the kind of place that leaves a lasting impression.

FEATURED FAVORITE

MT. Rushmore

If you have the time and haven’t been, Mt. Rushmore is definitely worth a visit. It’s one of Carson’s top recommendations - he especially enjoyed exploring the museum inside the Lincoln Borglum Visitor Center.
