What To Expect
Mount Rushmore National Memorial
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
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.
