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!

South Dakota 87

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 is one of the best tours we have ever taken. It started at the Dances With Wolves set, which was very cool to see. The breakfast was good, but not much variety. The pancakes were all-you-can-eat, which was nice if you're very hungry. They ran out of coffee...a problem with so many people having breakfast. It took quite a long time to get more brewed. Staff should have been monitoring this. Our tour guide was Joe and he was excellent. He was relatively new at this job, but he made the tour outstanding. He had lots of historical information and stories to provide. He was a very safe driver and we were amazed at how he was able to get the bus through some of the tunnels. The places where the bus stopped for just to get out and look around, as well as the scheduled tour sites made up a nice sampling of the area (Mt. Rushmore, Needles Highway, Custer State Park, Crazy Horse). The stop for lunch at the lodge had a buffet with lots of variety and good prices. There was also a nice gift shop in the lodge. At the end of the tour, we ended back at the place where we began. Dinner was served in a fast, efficient system. The food was very good: choice of brisket or chicken, cowboy beans, small corn on the cob, apple sauce, and spice apple cake. Drink choices were lemonade, tea, or water. It would have been nice to have ice in the drinks. Soft drinks were available for sale. The after dinner show very entertaining. The Wrangler's Band performed songs from five different decades and it was apparent that the audience related to almost every song. The only suggestion I would make is that free bottled water & snacks should be made available for such a long event. We have never been on such a long tour without them. This is a tour not to be missed. We immediately started telling our friends about it as soon as we got home;
