What To Expect

Mount Rushmore National Memorial

Make the very most of your time and visit the famous faces at Mount Rushmore with an expert! Take your time enjoying all that the National Monument has to offer; museums, trails, gift stores - even Thomas Jefferson's family ice-cream recipe! Our guide will talk you through the building of the project, its place in history and a local's perspective. We normally spend between 1hour 1.5 hours here.

Iron Mountain Road

Iron Mountain Road is a Black Hills experience not worth missing! This famous scenic route was built especially to compliment Mt Rushmore. Enjoy the perfectly framed tunnels facing the faces, and the pigtail bridges. We make our way to the top of Peter Norbeck Overlook for a spectacular view of the Black Hills.

Sylvan Lake

Spectacular Sylvan Lake is our first stop in Custer State Park. A must see in the hills, this is the beginning of our journey onto Needles Hwy.

South Dakota 87

The jewel of the Black Hills, Needles Hwy is like nothing you have very seen before. This scenic drive is cradled by the heart of the mountain range; magnificent spires and sparkling rock formations (really, the mica makes it sparkle!), this is a drive you must see.

Great half day tour. The guide, Denise, was very pleasant, knowledgeable and a great driver through all the curves. There is no way we could have covered that much territory in a half day. Mount Rushmore was fabulous.
