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 was a nine hour tour. We started off at Fort Hayes with breakfast, which was included. We visited Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park, Crazy Horse Monument, and many many other sites on the trip. The narrow tunnels and pigtail bridges are something to see and travel on. We stopped in Custer State Park for lunch and the lunch is not included. No problem there. The driver was well informed and did an excellent job of pointing out the sites. He was very knowledgeable. The cost of this tour including breakfast and dinner show was $99 per person. The parking and admission alone to the sites we visited equaled what we got and we got meals and a ton of information. Matt Pate was our guide and driver. Get him if you can. This was a good way to start the visit to the Black Hills because this overview gave us a good guide for the rest of the week.

When i was told this was going to be a 9 hour bus ride and the cost I was not fully excited...... DO NOT CHANGE A THING!!!! This was one of the best tours you will go on. Yes the bus is old and yes you will be on it for 9 hrs, Yes they feed you pancakes and sausage before you go, Yes the tour starts early in the morning, yes the first of May the tour bus was packed with 46 people. And when the tour is done dinner and a show are waiting. First off how great can it be to tour Mount Rushmore when you have to drive and have no idea where you are going? The the tour bus takes you on a Black hills scenic tour that there is no way you can enjoy if you are the driver. Mat our driver did a great job telling us about the history and sites for us to view. Do not miss this tour well worth the money and time.

We spent about $100 per person for something that if we would have done our selves would've cost us well over that for entrance fees and gas, plus we got breakfast and dinner and a show included and priceless stories, history and other information along the way from our driver, Matt. Seriously, if you're anywhere near here you have got to do this tour! We saw Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and some absolutely breathtaking views of the Black Hills and it's lakes, valleys, animals, rock formations, old town cities, and much more! We also got to help make some rope after breakfast before the tour, so cool!!
