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 narrated bus tour through the Black Hills was WONDERFUL! Our driver, Matt, file due in on many points of interest as well as some of the history of the Black Hills. We saw Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park where we saw buffalo and ate lunch in the Main Lodge, stopped along the way for photo opportunities, drove the Needles Highway, and returned to Ft. Hayes for an delicious meal and Country Music show. With Matt at the wheel, we were able to sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenery! Visiting the buildings at Ft. Hayes was interesting as well.

Want a packed tour giving you a true flavor of the wonderful Black Hills, this is for you. a 91/2 hour tour aboard a coach with a fantastic Narrator/Driver who really loves his job and the area, we had Matt. Matt is witty, colorful and a great driver, safe and careful. The highlight is the Needles Highway, well it's not really a Highway more of a series of Pig Tails and Swish Backs coupled with very narrow low tunnels that will frighten the jabberers out of you. You visit the Mount Rushmore, Custer State Game Lodge, Crazy Horse, Sylvan Lake Lodge and of course the Needles, wow what a great day. Good value if you calculate the cost of entrance fees, fuel and wear and tear on your own vehicle. I'd say the best tour of the Black Hills available.

We chose the package which included breakfast and dinner with a show at Ft. Hays. Including the 9-hour bus tour, we spent nearly 13 hours with them. After breakfast, we boarded an older 44 passenger tour bus which was clean and comfortable. Our driver/guide talked virtually non-stop throughout the trip, but he was very interesting and informative. His name was Matt. The tour allowed us to see the Black Hills, Custer State Park, Mt. Rushmore, the Crazy Horse Memorial and many other sites as we drove the historic scenic loops within the Black Hills. The bus made numerous stops at the major sites as well as other scenic and interesting locations. More than adequate time was allotted for enjoying the attractions and taking photos. We would have spent at least two days touring on our own and would not have been able to see or learn as much as we did on this tour. Considering entrance fees to the attractions and gasoline, the price is really a bargain. Don't miss this opportunity.
