Depending on your height of course.

There is a nice Native American museum in Chamberlain too. About 10 minutes from the rest stop. It's at the Saint Joseph's Indian School. It was recently updated with a wing dedicated to the treatment of the Lakota by the church in the past (not a pleasant experience for most Native Americans).

If you don't want to be depressed for weeks to come, avoid the Wounded Knee cemetery on the Pine Ridge Reservation.
