This week, we’re heading west! Inspired by listener Emily we’re diving into a family-friendly road trip through South Dakota’s most iconic stops — from the Black Hills to the Badlands, with plenty of adventure along the way.

You’ll hear about glamping at Under Canvas Mount Rushmore (yes, with Hyatt points!), digging for fossils at an active mammoth site, and the surprisingly adorable experience of feeding prairie dogs. We also chat about scenic drives, budget-friendly hotel options, and the kind of hikes that even little legs can handle.

If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing Mount Rushmore up close, or if you’re planning a National Parks trip with your family, this episode is packed with inspiration — and the full itinerary (with drive-time stops!) is linked HERE
