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 was ine of the best i did in the USA !! They were very nice and we did a lot of stops ! We drove around town and then to mount rushmore wherewe stayed for about two hours but we could have stayed more if we wanted to! The we drove to a place where we can see the profile of the presidents which was really cool too ! And through a tunnel made so that it was framing the presidents sculptures ! Really nice ! We also learned about the city and the state and we stopped in a village to see a real saloon . This tour was really really good and im really glad i went to ! I would gladly go back again ! Definetely recommand it !

The Mount Rushmore 9 hour tour + 2 meals and a show was worth every penny. It began at Fort Hays at 7:30 A. M. with a Cowboy Brerakfast. This was actually the only low point of the experience. Cold pancakes and mediocre biscuits were disappointing. Since the bus didn't depart until 9 A.M., it left time to visit buildings that were used in the filming of the Kevin Costner movie, Dances With Wolves where artisans made ropes, tin plates, etc. They were all very pleasant and knowledegable about their crafts. The buses were boarded in the order of the date of your reservation and since we had booked about a month in advance on line, we had the first choice of seats. This was the fairest boarding process that my husband and I have ever seen. We toured Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse Monument without the hastle of parking and long walks form the parking lots.The bus driver/guide was very informative and had a great sense of humor. During our tour of Custer National Park we were delayed for about 40 minutes when about half of the 1500 buffalo herd crowded ,crossed the road and walked alongside the buses and cars.on their migration to the south of the park. Lunch was on your own at a 19th century Lodge where buffalo stew was one of the menu choices. We drove through the old towns of Custer, Hill City and Keystone and learned about their history. Upon returning to Fort Hays, we had a Cowboy dinner with plentiful portions of beef or chicken, sides and dessert. Althouigh my expectations for the show were low, I was very pleasantly surprized by the talent of the musicians who also sang and told jokes.The fiddler who was a music teacher at a local school was outstanding. If you are in the Black Hills, this is a most enjoyable way of visiting the major attractions and leaving the driving to them.
