Mount Rushmore Tour
Mount Rushmore Tour

Experience historic American presidents George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson and Theodore Roosevelt in larger-than-life fashion. Your adventure begins with the Mount Rushmore National Memorial, where you'll be able to stand in awe of one of America's wonders. You'll have time to tour the visitor center, do some souvenir shopping, and visit exhibits.

Custer State Park is the next stop on the tour, where you will take a break for lunch, which is a buffalo stew. You will drive on the Iron Mountain Road, which features pigtail bridges and breathtaking views of the Black Hills. After lunch, you will get to experience Sylvan Lake.

The Crazy Horse Memorial is your next stop and is the site of the world's "largest mountain carving in progress." This ongoing project is a private, non-profit educational and humanitarian project begun at the request of the Native Americans.

The Mount Rushmore Tour also concludes with a ride on the 1880 train, which will take you over the rugged landscape of South Dakota and the Black Hills in a vintage train.

Customer Reviews
This was wonderful! The guide was very personable and informative. Would have liked a choice of lunch place, though. NOT an expensive buffet with little heat!

-Glenda Wilkinson, Picayune, MS
Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse- excellent. The driver was very knowledgeable on the histrory. Only complaint - way to much travel through winding roads.

-Pauline Johnson, Red Deer,
even though we got on the wrong bus and ended up on an entirely different tour - it was fun and the tour group was fair to us

-Jerry Lonergan, Kansas City, MO
