We actually stayed across the Missouri in Fort Pierre, up on the hill, in a campsite overlooking downtown Fort Pierre, the Missouri River, and Pierre. It was nice just hanging out.  We even ate outside, not something we do often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, Fort Pierre is in Mountain Time and Pierre is in Central Time. (The time zone split for much of South Dakota is the Missouri River.) We heard that most people in Fort Pierre live as if in Central Time. However, the bars in town benefit from actually being in Mountain Time, as they can stay open an hour later than in Pierre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\"
