If you go to Keystone, SD to see Mt Rushmore, do yourself a favor and take a guided tour of the Black Hills and Custer Park w the Jeep Bison Safari Tour. Leave the driving and knowledge to your tour guide and 100% enjoy taking pictures and looking everywhere without a care. Our guide, Jon, made the day perfect. We covered so much and saw two sizable herds of buffalos, some "elder buffs" "young buffs" "baby buffs and a few rare white buffs. Jon was totally 100% professional and enjoyable company and Rich made everything right. The B-H-O-T-T were well worth it. Highly recommend spending some time with them.

Charlie and Mike were great. The jeep is really nice and you can sit inside as well if you need a break from the outside. The guides will adjust the tour for your needs and are great with kids. Eating lunch in the middle of the Bison herd was really cool. Lots of baby bison to watch as well. Great way to see the black hills up close.
