Journey to the Petrified Forest(Piedmont, SD)

Taking vacations to new places for the first time is always enjoyable! Documenting it along the way helps you to revisit your vacation when you look back on it years later. Sharing it helps people to be influenced in a good way by going out and travelling the world while they also film and edit. Basically, South Dakota is a State where videos about South Dakota need to be made and shared with the world! The vacation, which is unfortunately over with now, came in six travelling steps that involve reaching the destination.
1. Leaving Natchitoches, Louisiana.
2. Driving to Alexandria, Louisiana.
3. Departing from Alexandria's AEX Airport.
4. Arriving at the DFW Airport in Dallas.
5. Departing from Dallas's DFW Airport.
6. Arriving at Rapid City's Airport.
Petrified Forest of the Black Hills is a very old place that first publicly opened back in 1929. Also called Petrified Forest Spearhead, it has a museum with petrified fossils, rocks, and wood dating back to 120-130,000,000 years ago. On the trail for the tour there are 25 labeled official places and features. Basically, these are 25 stop off points. Its location is in between Sturgis and Rapid City so you should go check it out if you're in the area!
There's a ton of petrified logs everywhere on the tour trail. Before you do go on the trail you will get to watch a fifteen minute video on the formation of the Black Hills before you get to go look at all the crazy stuff in the museum! The place has very friendly people who will definitely answer your questions if you have any. The forest is located in Piedmont, SD, USA on Elk Creek Road on the main hill right above the camping grounds. It's open from April 5th-October 31st with the weather permitting SO CALL BEFORE YOU GO THERE. YOU CAN ALSO STOP BY THE BUILDING BELOW THE HILL SO YOU CAN ASK ABOUT THE HOURS BEFORE YOU DO DRIVE UP THE HILL.
South Dakota is a very beautiful State that needs to have more tourism! More Americans need to learn their geography and need to learn the history on States like South Dakota. If you ever think about taking a trip to this State then go through with your plans. Stay tuned for more South Dakota videos that will be released onto this channel over the rest of the week. Like always, thanks for watching!
