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.

A friend of ours took this tour about 5 years ago and highly recommended it. We took the Mt. Rushmore Tour which included pickup and drop off at the RV park where we were staying, a delicious full breakfast before the tour, a comfortable air-conditioned coach (with clean restroom inside), an 8-hour tour of Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park, and the Crazy Horse Memorial, and ended with a chuck wagon style beef or chicken dinner and a very entertaining western musical show. We also purchased tickets for the buffet lunch at the Game Lodge in Custer State Park. This package tour was a great value because our whole day was taken care of very smoothly by the Mt. Rushmore Tour staff. Our driver guide was Chris and although I think he said it was his first year as a guide, he knew plenty about the area and each of the major attractions. There were plenty of photo opportunities and we did not feel rushed at any of the stops. The tunnels that framed Mt. Rushmore were spectacular and we were able to stop to take photos from one of the best tunnels while Chris, our driver, watched out to make sure we were aware of any on coming traffic. The serving staff back at the Fort Hays dining room and theater were very well trained so even with a large crowd, the lines moved quickly and the food was very good. One of the things that we really appreciated was that bus seating was in the order by the date you made your reservation, so there was no pushing or shoving to get ahead. For dinner and the show, the assigned theater seating at long picnic table style benches were clearly marked and had ample elbow room so that you didn't crowd ;your neighbor. The tour guides and staff are so helpful and friendly that it seems to set the tone for the guests on the tour. We had a really enjoyable group of just over 20 people on our bus! The drivers shared information about where to see the wildlife, so with a tip from another driver, Bill, Chris was able to drive us to see the herd of buffalo that were in Custer near the Game Lodge. There is a new ride that incorporates a sort of maze with ski-lift type chairs and buffalo targets to shoot at as you ride by. I wish we had had more time to try it because it looked like lots of fun! We would highly recommend booking your Mt. Rushmore area tour with this company. We were actually picked and dropped off at our RV park by the owner, Herman Jones, who is a wonderful story teller and we could tell that he really cares about his staff and his guests! He has been in this business for over 40 years and really knows how to train his staff to treat their customers very well!

Everything was well thought out and we were rewarded by everyone involved from the ticket counter, bus driver Chris keep us on the edge of our seats, and the breakfast and dinner was very good. The variety music show was a great way to finish a perfect day.
