Is it possible to visit the Black Hills without making a stop at Mount Rushmore? Each time we've gone, it's been more and more impressive.
Can you tell Amaya is having a great time?
There's a small hike - maybe 1 mile or so that lets you get a closer view of "the faces", but because we didn't have a backpack to put Amaya in and the trail was only paved so far - Amaya walked for some of it and for the rest rode on Steve's shoulders.
A close up view of Mount Rushmore. We heard that they are working on a new project of creating more trails throughout the park. We'll be excited to see the changes when we go back.
We took my dad up on the suggestion to go back to watch the lighting of Mount Rushmore. One of the rangers gave a small talk, then we watched a movie about the history of the presidents, and then the ranger had all of the veterans come up on stage to retire the flag for the evening. There were about 100-125 veterans up on stage and the ranger said this was the most they've had all summer. The lighting of Mount Rushmore was awesome and we're glad we decided to go back. Thanks Dad for the suggestion!
