What To Expect

Fort Hays Old West Town and Dinner Show

The tour package starts at Fort Hays Chuckwagon where you get your all you can eat cowboy breakfast. Nothing better than home made cowboy pancakes, biscuits and gravy, sausage links with a hot cup of coffee to get the day started.

Mount Rushmore National Memorial

The bus departs at 9am and heads for Mount Rushmore! You will have a little over an hour to look around at your own convenience and enjoy the sites and beauty that you came to South Dakota for. We stop here first because Mount Rushmore is at it's best in the morning sun. Gutzon Borglum carved this mountain facing east towards the morning sun and intended it to be viewed this way.

Iron Mountain Road

After leaving Mount Rushmore we will travel along the Iron Mountain Road. A beautiful 17 mile road of breath taking scenery featuring 3 one lane tunnels that perfectly frame Mount Rushmore.

Custer State Park Resort

We stop for lunch inside Custer State Park at the Game Lodge and previous summer White House for president Calvin Coolidge. Try the Buffalo Stew, it's the best you will ever find!

Needles Highway

After lunch we depart for the Needles Hwy. This 14 mile scenic drive is sure to leave you breathless and awe struck at amazing beauty of the Black Hills. Sit back and enjoy the ride and watch the crowd gather around when we drive the bus through the Needles Eye Tunnel. With only inches to spare on each side of the bus you can relish in the fact that you are not the one driving.

Sylvan Lake

Take a rest stop and coffee break at the beautiful Sylvan Lake. This is among the crown jewels of Custer State Park and the beauty within it.

Crazy Horse Memorial

We spend about an hour at Crazy Horse Memorial. You are on your own to spend this time enjoying this piece of history in the making. Upon completion it will be the largest mountain carving in the world! Truly a piece of awe inspiring history being worked on every day.

Fort Hays Old West Town and Dinner Show

The tour package ends back at Fort Hays to include the Chuckwagon Supper and Live Music Show. This chuckwagon meal is sure to leave you with a full belly. The show is a Branson style variety show to include music for all ages to enjoy. Rate the best family entertainment in the Black Hills.

Not much to see during construction. The museum is closed and you can't take any tours that get you close to the faces. It is a long overdo project so we all have to be patient. I took my family who visited from the East Coast and they enjoyed seeing the monument (was more like Chevy Chase at the Grand Canyon this trip). They didn't know what they missed not being able to see the museum.

Hi there, Mike, I'm sorry to hear that you came during the construction period of Mount Rushmore. Unfortunately, there isn't much that we, here at Fort Hays Chuckwagon & Stage Coast West, can do regarding the monuments but we sincerely hope that the rest of the tour went well and that your family had the chance to enjoy the Supper and Show we feature in the evening. If you have any future questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at [email protected] and I will be happy to personally address them. Thank you so much for the review and we wish you a Merry Christmas from all of us here at Fort Hays Chuckwagon & Stage Coach West Tours!

Phenomenal - just breathtaking. You have to travel the Iron Mountain road as well to look through each of the tunnels back toward Mt. Rushmore too! Needles highway and Custer State Park were part of the tour and should not be missed if you can devote an entire day to the tour. Scenery was just wonderful.
