Rapid City
About 78,000 people.
Rapid City sits at the edge of the Black Hills and is the gateway to Mount Rushmore and other amazing sights. People call it the City of Presidents because of the statues you can find on its street corners.
Walk downtown to find life-size statues of every U.S. president, splash at a water park, or drive a short way to see the giant carved faces at Mount Rushmore.

City of Presidents
On nearly every downtown corner stands a bronze statue of a past U.S. president. Kids love making it a game to find and count as many as they can.
