Wagon Wheel Motel - Wasta, SD

Between Wall and Rapid City—saved our bacon last year when our usual spot in Rapid City was sold out. Clean, and the local bar had a simple, solid dinner. They’ve rebranded to “Wasta Bound”

There’s also the Inn at Spearfish Creek in Spearfish, SD.

Bonus food recs:

• Bread & Circus in Sioux Falls has an aamaaaazing curry cauliflower pita for the rare road trip veggie fix

• And if you like pastries don’t skip The Sour in Rapid City.
