Winter in South Dakota can be incredibly brutal, but that doesn’t mean it can’t also be beautiful and fun! If you crave a little more charm and beauty during these chilly and drab months, we invite you to take a look at this small town in South Dakota that comes to life even more in winter:

Originally home to the Sioux and Cheyenne, who frequented the area because of its warm springs, Hot Springs was later incorporated in 1890 and is now a favorite spot for South Dakota natives and tourists alike.

(As its name suggests, Hot Springs is also home to warm and therapeutic hot mineral pools that have been bubbling up and healing sore and achy muscles since 1881.)
