South Dakota East to West

Yesterday we traveled from eastern South Dakota to western South Dakota.  We have always enjoyed the changes in landscape from one border to the other.

At first we drove through farmland including lots of sunflower fields.

Soon the fields of crops gave way to rolling hills more suitable to livestock grazing.

The road was almost empty of traffic and the only trees we saw were along streams and in valleys.

When in the distance we saw Bear Butte, we knew we were close to our destination, the beautiful Black Hills.
