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.

My parents and I booked a Mount Rushmore tour with the Black Hills Above and Beyond Tour Company. Our tour guide Karen had an extensive knowledge of the Black Hills area. The tour included Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Needles Highway, Iron Mountain Loop, Custer State Park with Wildlife Loop in Custer State Park. The tour price includes a buffet in the Custer State Park which was very good. Our tour guide Karen was very nice and she made sure that everyone was comfortable and we had a great time. I would highly recommend this tour company to anyone.

Hi, I'm so happy to hear that you had a wonderful time here in the Black Hills and seeing everything that it has to offer. Needles Highway is an amazing drive and the Iron Mountain Road is among the top rated scenic drives in the nation. Unfortunately you have left your review with the wrong company as I don't have any tour guides named Karen. My company does do a extremely similar tour except for in a full size Motor Coach, which makes the Needles Hwy even more entertaining when squeezing our 8 foot wide bus through the 8 foot 4 inch tunnel at the top. I hope you have a safe journey home and tell your friends about everything that the Black Hills has to offer.

Not having ever been to the area before, we decided to take the eight hour tour package which covered the Black Hills, Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore, and the Crazy Horse Monument. The tour began with a hearty chuck wagon breakfast at Fort Hays, the tour headquarters. After that, we boarded a large tour bus bound for Mount Rushmore. Matt,our our driver and tour guide, was a real gem. Not only was he a careful and skillful driver as we traversed over many mountain roads, he was both entertaining and informative..By the time we returned to Fort Hays,we felt we had seen most if not all of the more notable highlights of the Black Hills. The tour includes a chuck wagon dinner and variety show. Having spent the entire previous day flying form California to South Dakota, we decided we needed to head for our hotel rather than stay for the show.. I definitely recommend this tour and feel it is a must for anyone visiting the area for the first time.

We just had a great trip to Rapid City, South Dakota. The highlight of the trip was the tour out of Fort Hays with Mount Rushmore Tours. Our driver, Dan was an excellent driver and very knowledgeable of the area. He took us to Mount Rushmore, the Sitting Bull Monument and many interesting places in between. Part of the tour package was the Fort Hays show that evening. The food was okay, but the show was fabulous. The entertainers were professional grade and each of them gave a strong performance which in turn made the whole group excellent. My wife and I agreed that we hadn't laughed so much in a long time. We met so many nice people from different parts of the country. This tour bus adventure was well worth the very reasonable price.
