Overview

Note: No tour July 1-2-3-4

This Scenic Journey travels Iron Mountain Road: with tunnels engineered to frame Mount Rushmore in the distance. Experience the architectural marvel of corkscrew wooden pigtail bridges.

We have a photo stop at Sylvan Lake, the jewel of Custer State Park. At Washington's Profile we view the monument from a hidden highway vantage point.

Mount Rushmore National Memorial Tour: you will learn the dramatic history, engineering feats, and politics of the carving. You will have time for self-exploration: Walk the Presidential Trail for up-close views of the faces. Watch the orientation film, browse historical exhibits, and shop for unique souvenirs.

Crazy Horse Memorial and Indian Museum of North America: you will tour a massive collection of 14,000 historic Native American artifacts. Watch a compelling 20-minute movie about the Ziolkowski family's multi-generational mission.

We return with a drive along Main Street of Hill City and share its history.

The Crazy Horse Memorial is a mountain monument under construction on privately held land in the Black Hills. It depicts the Oglala Lakota warrior Crazy Horse, riding a horse and pointing to his tribal land. This will be the largest man made sculpture in the world. The museum has over 14,000 Native American pieces of art. In the summer there are Lakota dancers performing on the patio. This is a wonderful historic and cultural experience.

Hill City (pass by)

In 1883, tin was discovered near Hill City, and the population exploded. The Harney Peak Tin Mining, Milling, and Manufacturing Company made its headquarters on Main Street. The company was backed by English financiers and bought 1,100 prospecting sites around the area. As mining grew, the city became known for its wild living and was once referred to as "a town with a church on each end and a mile of Hell in between." At one time, 15 saloons were located on Main Street. Today Hill City is know for its local artists, the dinosaur museum and wine tasting locations.
