Baguntundi bro Badlands. Free entry and open access so you can hike any where you want. Some views are surreal. 

Sylvan lake is just another scenic lake.

If you are going from NE to Rushmore, Badlands is on the way. Sunset time ki Badlands lo stop ayye la chuskunte better as it looks stunning while sun is going down. 

Around rushmore, Deadwood baguntundi historic gambling place (That is where Wild Bill Hickok was shot)

Also plan for Jewel Cave National Monument. 

Needles highway is very good to drive.

Tips from @Suhaas

future lo janalaki help avvudhhani esthunna ikkada

Bro, 

St. Louis to Mt.Rushmore ante you go through this route. 

St.Louis  --  Omaha NE -- Sioux Falls SD -- Badlands / Rapid City SD / Mt. Rushmore. 

Omaha NE: Ikkada pedhaga chudalsinavi em undaii, there is one big zoo if you are into that stuff but adi kakunda picha lite. 

Sioux Falls SD: Omaha ninchi 2.5 to 3 hours dooram lo untindi. Sioux Falls, Ikkada kuda pedhaga em undaii. ikkada ninchi about 5 to 6 hours lo Rapid City / Mt. Rushmore untundi. This is where I live and you go through this route. 

BadLands:  Sioux Falls to Rushmore velle appudu Rushmore ki inko 1.5 hour undi ananga vasthundi. Evening sunset time ki velthe baguntundi ee place. visually chala baguntundi. ikkada oka 2 hours saripothundi chudaniki. Then you can go to Rushmore.

Rapid City SD: Mt. Rushmore ki daggara lo unna koncham pedha city ide. ikkada emi undav chudaniki. You will  pass through this place. Meeku emaina koncham stuff kavali trip lo ante ikakda konukondi walmart lo idi dhati Mt.Rushmore ki velle appudu pedha stores em undaii anni chinna gas stations ee so buy stuff in this town if you want to. Mandhu konukkoni vellalai anna ikkada koneskoni vellandi. ikkada ninchi ok 30 minutes lo rushmore. Drive koncham through hills unundi scenic ga baguntundi. 

Mt. Rushmore: Idi telsinde ga president faces adi vuntundi max oka 2 hours padthundi ikkada anthe pedha me undadhu

Other places near Mt Rushmore:

1.  Jewel Cave National Monument: Rushmore ninchi oka 40 minutes untundi. idi baguntundi try to go if you have time.       Timings chuskoni vellandi (https://www.nps.gov/jeca/planyourvisit/hours.htm)

2. Needles Highway: idi banguntadi bro drive. kondalu loyalu madhyala drive untindi. (https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g28962-d145070-Reviews-Needles_Highway-South_Dakota.html)

3. Cosmos Mystery Area: idi gravity spot bro, same ilantidhe SFO lo untundi mystery spot ani aa spot ki velthe you bend without knowing due to some gravitational force

4. Deadwood: Idi night time povalsina place bro, its just a historic casino area. Gambling interest undi if you are spending the night around Rushmore go to this place. 

5. Bear Country: idi drive through bear park bro bears anniti madhya drive cheskuntu povachu (https://www.bearcountryusa.com/)

6. Crazy Horse Memorial: idi mt rushmore daggara lo ne untindi bro idi dooram ninchi chudatam chalu daggaraki fee katti povalsina worth em undadhu,  so you can take this off your list unless you really want to go. Dooram ninchi etlano kanipisthu untundi poi chudandi kani fees katti dagaraki po chusudu not worth in my opinion. 

7. Custer State Park/ Sylvan Lake: idi needles highway daggara lo untundi scenic ga untundi drive and views

If you are planning to stay somewhere near Mt.Rushmore,  stay in a cabin in the hills bro. Expensive untundi kani janalu ekkuva unte okate cabin book cheskovachu and scenic ga untundi in the middle of mountains. Cabins will have outdoor hottubs and grills so night sakkaga mandhu kottukunta hot tub la kurchoni chill avvachu. 

This is what I remember at the moment bro.South Dakota Interstate lo 80 untundi speed limit so fast ga ne povachu. Omaha to Sioux Falls vache route madhya lo Sioux City(IOWA) ane place vasthundi Bro  ee town la  highway speed cameras untayi  jagaratha. Oka sari Sioux City IA datina taruvatha ikka highway speed cams undavu ekkada South Dakota lo 

Enjoy your trip.
