Physical
Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Speech TherapyJobs in
South Dakota
South Dakota is truly a part of the Old West, but not exclusively.
This region showcases diverse terrain and scenery, including
the Black Hills, the Badlands, and the high plains. All can
be found within a 50-mile radius of Rapid City, the region’s
hub.
The Black Hills are a beautiful, accessible extension of
the Rocky Mountains. Thick forests of tall ponderosa pine,
spruce and aspen cover the mountains of tall granite peaks
and deep canyons. The granite faces of Mount Rushmore National
Memorial gaze out over this landscape. Animals such as buffalo,
elk, deer, antelope and mountain goats make their homes in
public parks. Private parks include grizzly bear, wolves and
cougars to the list. Logging is the principal industry of
this area.
The history of this region includes legendary figures such
as Crazy Horse, Sitting bull and George Armstrong Custer,
who led his 1874 expedition into the Black Hills, which started
the great gold rush. Calamity Jane and Wild Bill Hickok shaped
the wild frontier town of Deadwood, which has legalized gambling.
Many ghost towns are nestled quietly in remote areas of the
Hills and may still be explored.
