As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

When it comes to dining out, there is nothing better than visiting a restaurant with a history as delicious as the menu itself. Lucky for us South Dakotans, the Mount Rushmore State is chock-full of restaurants that have been around for more than 50, 60, or even 70 years, and continue to stand the test of time with their unbeatable menu and impeccable service. Case in point: The 130-some-year-old Alpine Inn.

Located in Hill City, the Alpine Inn is the place to be for fine dining in a stunning setting, thanks to its elegant dining room and knowledgable staff.
