We took a private all day tour of the area around Mt. Rushmore including a jeep tour of Custer State Park. Our Guide, Tim took us on a hike in the park for about 3 miles, including the Cathedral Spires Trail. Viewed the unfinished Crazy Horse monument, drove through beautiful sections of the Black Hills and were treated to lunch at a nice local restaurant in Custer. After lunch we took the jeep tour of the park through the bison habitat, prairie dog meadows and some off-roading for spectacular views. Our Jeep driver, Dave, was very good at getting us to the wildlife, and very knowledgeable.
Tim then finished the tour with a drive through the three Black Hills tunnels that open up with direct views of Mt. Rushmore. He then recommended some side trips for the rest of our stay in the Black Hills. Probably would have missed the Badlands if not for his coaxing. A great tour with great guides. Tim was able to "customize" on the fly, due to a traffic mishap (overturned trailer blocking the road for about 25 minutes).
We would do it again!
