The Mt. Rushmore National Memorial is a national treasure that all American citizens must experience and explore.
Learn about the four great Presidents depicted on this huge stone sculpture and the man--artist Gutzon Borglum--who fulfilled the American dream by making this massive project come to life.
See Mt. Rushmore by day on the Presidential Trail (a short walk will take you as close as you can get to the memorial). For a more majestic experience, visit Mt. Rushmore at night for a 30-minute program led by a National Park Ranger that culminates in the illuminating of the sculpture.
View Mt. Rushmore from another angle after riding up the Rushmore Tramway; at the top, eat lunch, have a drink, and prepare yourself for an exhilarating ride down the President’s Alpine Slide. Control the speed of you sled as you race down the luge-like track.
Visit and spelunk in Jewel Cave—the world’s largest. Learn about box work and see the planet’s largest collection of it in Wind Cave. Get the most of the Black Hills, Custer, and Rapid City, South Dakota; they are filled with endless options for group fun and adventure.
