Mount Rushmore National Memorial represents not only the past, but also a promise for the future.

What a great way to see Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse monument, Black Hills, Custer, Custer State Park, and Iron Mtn Road. My husband is normally so busy doing the driving, he does not get to thoroughly enjoy the sites. We went the tour route so he could enjoy too. Our guide, Bruce, was informative and just the right amount of entertaining. We had adequate time at all the sites. Would highly recommend this method of touring western SD. And get Bruce as your guide, if possible!
