The Many Faces of Mount Rushmore

We decided to take one of the road trips on a map of the Black Hills area.  It was an area we hadn’t been in before and we knew it would be scenic.  What we didn’t know was that it would have the most awesome views of Mount Rushmore.  The drive goes through Custer State Park and the map showed a wildlife loop…I’m always ready to see wildlife. 

Randy wanted to avoid one section of road that he thought would be too congested with motorcycles on a twisting and turning road with several one lane tunnels.  After we stopped at the entrance to pay our fee and chatted with the Ranger, we decided to take that route.  She told us about the wonderful views of Mount Rushmore.  We are so glad we listened to her. 







We had been to Mount Rushmore National Memorial before…seen the videos and everything else there.  Because traffic can be so heavy there and parking can be a nightmare we had decided not to go there this time.  This drive gave us better views than right there at the National Memorial.

The whole drive through Custer State Park was beautiful.  I highly recommend it.
