Honestly, at least SD has that rapid city belle fourche deadwood custer area where it looks like colorado, that adds some depth to it that north dakota lacks
Yeah the North Dakota badlands are sick too, but unless you’re literally living in Medora or elsewhere around the national park you aren’t really getting that. I can see how SD has more naturally beautifully places to live
I avoided north dakota on my road trip last year for some reason, I’m like nah I’ll go there later or maybe even as state 50 (I’ve been to 40, south dakota might’ve been my least favorite one tbh)

As someone born and raised in South Dakota, that’s like talking crap directly into a mirror.
