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.

I was looking forward to being able to relax and see the sights! Instead, we were called at 7:00 AM, and told to be there by 7:30 because the bus was leaving early. Luckily/Unluckily we were staying nearby, and were able to make it on time. When we got there we asked why we weren't told the day before of the early departure. We were told that they texted and emailed us~ we got neither. So, needless to say, we had to take breakfast to go, which was not ideal, especially since there were no tray tables or drink holders on the bus. We were then told, after the bus got going, why they were leaving early. Instead of going to the places we signed up to see, we were going to the buffalo roundup! Neither one of us cared to see the buffalo roundup, why weren't we asked before the bus took off and offered a refund if they were changing the itinerary? So, we went to see the buffalo, along with thousands of other people, who were prepared with blankets and chairs and hot coffee, etc. We sat in the bus to stay warm for several hours waiting until these buffalo were visible. Whoopee! Not a big deal, not a thundering herd! After that we were taken to the buffalo bbq tent, with again many people and had to pay $20 a plate for a pulled buffalo sandwich, chips, beans, and a drink. Not Happy about the price, the crowds, and the time spent seeing something we hadn't signed up to see. We were at this buffalo roundup from 8:30-1:30! We were then taken to Mt. Rushmore, and Crazy Horse, but only had an hour at each site, which was not nearly enough time. The dinner was fine, the show was fine~ but at that point I was DONE with the whole place! I suggest that if you do sign up for this tour, ask before you get on the bus where they were taking you. Also ask where lunch is going to be. I would have packed a lunch instead of eating what they had available.

What stands out in this tour and meals are the people that runs it. Well organize, wealth of informations about the black hills/ mt Rushmore from the driver/ guide/ comedian to Fort Hays Rushmore tours staff receptions, food and entertainment. Will highly recommend this company.
