Rapid City

Highlight • Settlement

Rapid City is a tiny city compared to the gigantism of certain American megalopolises. She is very pleasant. Its nickname is the City of Presidents, as bronze statues of the 46 Presidents of the United States of America can be found around every corner!
Right downtown, you'll find Prairie-Edge, an extraordinary store. For anyone interested in Native American art, this is a true paradise. Another attraction in my opinion is the discovery of the fantastic museum of the "Rapid City School of Mines" located at the exit of the city in the direction of the regional airport. It has an incredible collection of animal fossils from the nearby Badlands, including an entire skeleton of the creepy "killer pig." Do not miss !
Rapid City is also known for an interesting street where Street Art artists express themselves freely on the walls of a street near the Alex-Johnson hotel.

Art Alley

Highlight • Structure

Art Alley is near the luxurious Alex Johnson Hotel in the heart of Rapid. The contrast is all the more striking when comparing this alley with this chic hotel. What appears to be a rather odd side street is actually a place that gives free rein to local artists. Very often it is committed political slogans that we find here. The paintings are constantly renewed, with excellence, brilliance and quality. A place to discover, and rediscover!
