    Chamberlain Rest Stop

    I recently stopped at the Chamberlain rest stop off I-90, and it's honestly one of the nicest rest…read moreareas I've been to. The view overlooking the Missouri River is beautiful--definitely worth taking a few extra minutes to stretch your legs and take it in. There's a big statue called Dignity of Earth and Sky that's pretty impressive, and it makes the stop feel more like a quick sightseeing break than just a bathroom stop. The facilities themselves are clean and well-kept, which is always a plus when you're on a long drive. There are plenty of picnic tables, some shaded areas, and space to walk around if you've been sitting in the car for hours. It's also a good spot to refuel mentally--quiet, safe, and family-friendly. Overall, this is one of those rest areas that actually sticks with you. The view is stunning as well. If you're passing through South Dakota, I'd definitely recommend pulling over here instead of just any random stop along the highway.

    This was an amazing rest stop. Yes, rest stops are usually welcome stops when traveling, as they…read morehave bathrooms, water refill stations, and sometimes picnic areas and vending machines. THIS rest stop, however, had so much more and, in fact, could be a destination unto itself! Inside, there was the two-story Lewis and Clark Interpretative Center, an interactive museum depicting the travelers journey through South Dakota in 1803-1806, complete with a built-in 2-story keel boat, and a balcony with views of the Missouri River, "the mighty Mo". Then there was the tourism center with helpful personnel and brochures for South Dakota attractions across the state. Outside, we enjoyed a shaded picnic table with a view of one of the famous "Whitwam's Wigwams". These are nine concrete sculptures resembling tipis found at rest stops along two South Dakota interstates, designed by architect Walt Whitwam. Finally, we marveled at the statue of "Dignity of Earth and Sky" sculpture, a 50' depiction of a Native American woman holding a quilt with panel sections that flutter in the wind. In the evening, the panels of the quilt are illuminated with LED lights and resemble diamonds. Kudos to South Dakota for bringing culturally, artistic, and historically important content to the people -- as they stop to rest and recharge during their long journeys along the interstate! Other states should follow South Dakota's example!
