Itinerary
Make the very most of your time and visit the famous faces at Mount Rushmore with an expert! Take your time enjoying all that the National Monument has to offer; museums, trails, gift stores - even Thomas Jefferson's family ice-cream recipe! Our guide will talk you through the building of the project, its place in history and a local's perspective. We normally spend between 1hour 1.5 hours here.
Iron Mountain Road is a Black Hills experience not worth missing! This famous scenic route was built especially to compliment Mt Rushmore. Enjoy the perfectly framed tunnels facing the faces, and the pigtail bridges. We make our way to the top of Peter Norbeck Overlook for a spectacular view of the Black Hills.
Spectacular Sylvan Lake is our first stop in Custer State Park. A must see in the hills, this is the beginning of our journey onto Needles Hwy.
The jewel of the Black Hills, Needles Hwy is like nothing you have very seen before. This scenic drive is cradled by the heart of the mountain range; magnificent spires and sparkling rock formations (really, the mica makes it sparkle!), this is a drive you must see.

About Rapid City
Rapid City is the gateway to South Dakota's Black Hills, close to Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial, Custer State Park and the Badlands.
Rapid City sits where the Black Hills meet the Great Plains in western South Dakota, on the banks of Rapid Creek. Life-size bronze statues of American presidents stand on the street corners of the downtown, and Dinosaur Park, a hilltop with concrete dinosaurs built in the 1930s, looks over the city. The Black Hills, called Paha Sapa by the Lakota, are sacred to them and rise as dark, pine-covered uplands.
