All I can say is WOW. I had the opportunity to visit Mount Rushmore while working in Montana. Its located in the western part of South Dakota around the Rapid City Area. Here's some of the pics I took. If your ever in that neck of the woods, its a must see!The drive itself was awesome- going through the Black Hills. The only cost was for parking, so its a great and inexpensive place to take a family.
I actually didn't even get a coffee mug here because I was to busy shopping for everyone else in my family. So darn it now I have to go back, lol. I really cant wait to go again though.
Just a little bit about the history of why its called Mount Rushmore in the first place.....apparently a attorney from New York went to South Dakota to do some title work and then they ended up giving the mountain his last name of Rushmore. Just interesting to know.
We had a great time too last year...took my whole family. But I do live in the same state so the travel part was much easier. Just seeing the great art work of the men that created it was amazing!
