Join Nancy J. Reid and Lisa D. Smith, the mother-daughter travel team and publishers of Big Blend Radio & TV Magazine and Parks & Travel Magazine, for Big Blend Radio’s Vacation Station Parks & Travel Show with travel writer Becky Pokora, publisher of SightDoing.net.  

On this episode, Becky discusses the Black Hills and Badlands of South Dakota. Here you'll be wowed by ponderosa pine forests, rolling hills and impressive peaks (including the tallest point east of the Rockies), frequent wildlife sightings, and some of the country's most unique scenery in the Badlands.  Although outdoor adventures are a strong draw here, travelers can also enjoy more relaxing activities, like scenic drives on the Needles Highway, Old West history in Deadwood, and breweries throughout downtown Rapid City and the nearby Black Hills. 

Featured music is “Traveler” by the Walk-A-Bout Band. Thanks to the International Food Wine & Travel Writers Association (IFWTWA) for sponsoring this segment!
