Terror in the streets!
Well, maybe not. It's just Dinosaur Park in Rapid City.
There is a good-sized hill dividing up South Dakota's second-largest city. The WPA in the 1930's put up some dinosaurs on top of that hill. There are five raptors overlooking the area.
This went up when Mount Rushmore was under construction. The idea was to make Rapid City a jumping-off point for that future great attraction. You'd have to say it was a good first step.
One note: You do have to climb some stairs to get up to the park. Luckily, there are refreshments and souvenirs back in the parking lot on Skyline Drive.
