Did You know

Did you know that?..

Rapid City was named for the limestone creek passing through it

A beautiful Rapid Creek gave name to this South Dakota city. It emerges from Dark Canyon above Canyon Lake and flows in a large arc downtown. Maybe the original settlement on the eastern slope of Black Hills chose this prosperous place right because of the creek! Rapid Creek, a tributary of the Cheyenne River, on the other hand, got its name from multiple rapids flowing through it. Terrestrial rains of 1972 led to the flood of the Creek — the most devastating that South Dakota has ever seen. These days, most of the city’s water supply comes from Rapid Creek.

Central location on the continent: important transportation hub

Rapid City’s central location on the continent determined its historical development as a trade and railroad transportation hub of the region. Connecting both coasts enables bringing goods from one to another. Therefore, trucking is an important industry in the city. Owning a truck company? Shop for high-quality truck and light truck tires and get them delivered to your business location in no time, and always free of charge by FedEx.

Popular tourist destination

Today the City of Presidents is a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors getting there both by means of public transportation and by cars. They stop here before visiting Mount Rushmore, or during a famous Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. If you’re planning to join them, don’t forget to get good tires for cheap! Check out our selection of passenger, highway, or touring tires.

Public transportation

Rapid City has a convenient transportation system. Rapid Ride provides a comprehensive network of bus routes. Rapid City Regional Airport connects it to important domestic destinations, and Rapid City, Pierre, and Eastern Railroad operates in South Dakota, southern Minnesota, and partly — in Wyoming and Nebraska.

Rapid City highways

Interstate 90 is the key east-west route of the city, passing through its northern side. Seven exits serve Rapid City, and most of them have been recently reconstructed.
Interstate 190 connects downtown to I-90. US Highway 16 heads southwest and to the Black Hills, connecting the city to Custer, Newcastle WY, and US Highway 85 heads to Cheyenne and Denver. The interior of the Black Hills is linked with southwestern Rapid City by South Dakota Highway 44. And South Dakota Highway 79 is interconnected with I-90 in the northwest of Rapid City. Soon it will be reconstructed into a high-speed Heartland Expressway that will connect the region to Nebraska via I-80 and the Colorado Front Range around Denver.
