Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse Monument

We took a scenic route to arrive at Mt. Rushmore. It was a narrow, winding road with 3 tunnels through rock that were so narrow only one vehicle at a time could pass. You had to blow your horn before going through. Once we arrived at the Mt. Rushmore complex, we passed under all the state flags, saw a film about the craving of the monument and took a walk with one of the park rangers for some additional history. It was quite patriotic.


We traveled through Custer State Park to arrive at the Crazy Horse Monument and museum. Below are a couple of pictures of the monument, a plaster sculpture and a small bronze. This was quite the attraction with a museum of Indian artifacts, Indian artists, the sculptor's workshop and a replica of his log cabin.
