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 tour operator's communications could do with some work. On our original booking, we requested a hotel pick-up and we were promised that we would be contacted. Nothing happened, so we reached out to the tour operator ahead of time and were given a pick-up slot of 7:30-8:00, for which we had to wait outside. We were ready as requested, but by 8:10 we decided to call the tour operator to check if the pick-up was still on. We could not get an answer on the phone lines, but eventually our hotel receptionist managed to speak to someone, and we were picked up just after 8:20 (about an hour of waiting outside). Breakfast was pancakes and a couple of sausages (and coffee in a styrofoam cup, for heaven's sake), so we didn't miss much in terms of taking time for that. The bus tour covered the sights, provided constant narration, and added a few surprises on the Needles Highway. Then we returned to Fort Hays for a 'chuckwagon dinner show'. The food was, again, basic tin-plate style (meat, baked potato, baked beans, apple sauce). The show was an hour-long musical review with accomplished performers, but seemed designed for families with teens/pre-teens rather than for adults. As the 12-hour itinerary was more suitable for adults, this seemed like a mismatch. Plus, the additional waiting time made the day very long. Maybe we should have chosen a cheaper tour with fewer add-ons.

From our pick up until we were delivered back to our hotel that evening, we had an awesome day. We saw so many things that we would have been hard pressed to navigate on our own. Our guide was a wealth of knowledge of history, and he was an amazing driver. The evening dinner show was very entertaining. Well worth the money!
