20 Reasons We Love South Dakota
Mount Rushmore is just the first on a long, diverse list of things to see and do in this state, rich with history and natural beauty.
Mount Rushmore National Memorial
See the iconic 60-foot faces from several viewing platforms or walk to the sculpture's base with a ranger. Free sculpture workshops and sculptor's studio talks also are available, plus a heritage village and kids' exploration area. Stick around in the evening for a patriotic ceremony featuring the lowering of the U.S. flag, recognition of visiting veterans, a patriotic film presentation and the lighting of the monument. Note that although admission to Mount Rushmore National Memorial is free, you do pay to park. (605) 574-2523; nps.gov/moru
