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.

This all day tour was a wonderful experience! The day tarted with a Chuckwagon breakfast and ended with a Chuckwagon dinner and then Variety Show! Great! Our tour guide was the unique Bill Martin - he has a true love and respect for this precious area. He has a fine skill and humorous talent of sharing the azazing history, facts and stories ... and you remember! His driving skills are impeccable with close cliff lanes, hair pin turns and very tight tunnels! And his Dad jokes .. groan! Be sure to request Bill!'s bus! All spectacular ~~ Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Needles Hwy, Iron Mt Road, Custer, buffalo, pronghorn, prairie dogs, lakes, lunch, breathtaking views. This tour is a bucket list must! And we will return.....

The bus MMB seat was uncomfortable due to a rod crossing the seat. Breakfast was tasteless. Dinner roast beef was tough. Tour info on lunch options was not clear. Music instrumentation was too loud. Actual tour And tour guide were great.

This tour was amazing. Iron Mountain Road and Needles Hwy was some very skillful driving by Gary. He made the whole trip very enjoyable even with some of the bad jokes, you still laughed. The scenery was breathtaking. I have to give a shout out to the Owner of Fort Hays, when I was leaving after dinner I discovered my battery in my truck was dead. I went inside and saw a gentleman sitting at a table and asked if he knew of anyone who could maybe give me a jump, he immediately said he would do it. Fortunately, that's all it was and he told me where a Walmart was in order to purchase a new one in Rapid City. I had 3 Angels help me that night and he was the first, the other 2 were employee's of Walmart that changed the battery for me even though they were closing. God was looking out for me and blessed me to be at this place at that time. Highly recommend you do the full day starting with breakfast and ending with the Show after dinner. You won't be disappointed.
