Skyline Drive In Rapid City
Skyline Drive in Rapid City is a beautiful two mile road above Rapid City that shows highlights of both the east and west side of town. The road takes you to Dinosaur Park, the KOTA studios, lots of lookouts, and place to hike and bike. The road can be scary in parts with limited guardrails, lots of curves, and it being a smaller road. Use caution if traveling it in the winter.
