Approximately three million tourists visit Mount Rushmore in South Dakota annually.
This question would be from personal preferences, I'm sure. I would suspect that Mount Rushmore would be considered "the best place to visit in South Dakota." Why? The 4 faces of our presidents is quite a fascinating landmark. Not just for South Dakota, but for the United States. I would consider Mount Rushmore the most patriotic landmark in America.
