Is Rapid City safe for solo female travelers?

Group travel

I have been here before and the experiences have always been good. However, it is quite easy to get in the wrong area with the wrong people. I wouldn’t recommend this area for a solo traveler for an extended period of time. However, the attractions in the area are quite fun (Bear Country, Mt. Rushmore, Wall Drug, etc).

Rapid City is a fairly safe city. Small population and rural. Typically, the places that would be considered less safe are in areas that tourists wouldn’t travel. You should still always be aware of your surroundings when you’re out drinking downtown as there’s always one or two people who can’t seem to control themselves. Overall though, I rarely feel unsafe with people and situations here

Rapid City is safe but has its areas, there’s like a certain line that you shouldn’t walk by yourself in that area so from like Omaha street and to the north from there don’t walk alone just lots of homeless population that gets kind of wild.
