If you are cruising across South Dakota, you have to stop at Mt. Rushmore....even if you have been there before. It's not possible to get tired of the monument. A new trail has opened since the last time, we visited. It takes you to the base of the mountain and offers incredible views.
I stayed close by so I could get there for sunrise.
While I was waiting for the park to open, this deer wandered by......beautiful!
From the Presidential Trail. Lots of stairs but so worth it.
Very cool. I just told this story to someone else who was there recently, so now I get a chance to show what a silly kid I was again! When I was very young, I honestly thought it was a natural formation, a sign from God that we were a blessed people.
