Sightseeing in the Dakotas without a car
I'm currently a resident of Phoenix, AZ ; I don't have a car and don't plan on buying one either in the near future. I've always wanted to go sightseeing in the Dakotas.
Is it possible to go on tours in the Dakotas without a car? What are my best options?
Best Answer
I meet 3 tourists from Switzerland who where on a 6 months bike tour across the states; if that is your kind of thing and you are up for the challenge. Get a (good) used one and it might even be cheaper than a bus tour.
Or you can catch a lift from Phoenix towards Dakota, meet new people and still get around without your own car. However make sure you don't end you trip in a small village without a bus connection if you hitchhike, otherwise you will have a really hard time getting out of there again :)
