The state is mostly rural, although towns like Rapid City, Vermillion and Spearfish pack their share of cultural, arts and outdoor action (Spearfish made Outside magazine's 2015 list of best outdoor towns for its mix of fishing, bike trails and brews). The long winters in South Dakota may give some retirees pause, but the state can boast four-season allure for those interested in year-round adventure and atmosphere.
