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.

Mount Rushmore trip was fun very knowledgeable thanks to the bus driver (Rory)The stay in Deadwood was average at best. The hotel was good (Cedar Wood) nothing fancy but the front desk lady( Connie) was wonderful. Got a parking ticket in Deadwood ( the lot was very poorly marked) The ticket had the the wrong state marked on it could have contested it but just paid it just to forget about the experience. If you don’t like the bar and gambling atmosphere the place is really not for you. On the plus side there was some good places to eat and the show they do around town is good.

Thanks for the review. However our tour doesn't have anything to do with the town of Deadwood, the hotel, or the gambling. But it seems like you still had a good time in the hills. I hope you come back and visit again sometime!

Our driver, Jerry was great and informative and the actual tour was good. However, we paid extra for this tour because it was suppose to include an all you can eat Cowboy breakfast and dinner and a show that night. The breakfast was a joke - choice of a pancake, terrible biscut and gravy and a sausage. It wasn't hot. No eggs and it was not all you can eat - but it tasted so bad that wasn't an issue. The dinner and show were cancelled and we were told we could come back the next day for that which we had thought we would do until we saw that you had to sit at what is essentially a picnic table and if breakfast was any indication of the meal it wasn't worth it. I think we should get refunded for the lack of dinner and show the same day and the lousy breakfast. Don't waste your money - choose a tour only.

Thanks for the review. I'm very glad to hear that you enjoyed your tour. Operating during Covid19 had many challenges - chief among them was food suppliers and ever changing availability to our regular menu items. I do hope you enjoyed your time in the Hills and come back again some time!
