Experience the best of the Black Hills on this guided 4-5 hour approx, small group tour to the iconic Mount Rushmore National Memorial. After pickup, relax in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle as your English-speaking guide shares the history and stories behind America’s Shrine of Democracy. Begin your visit with a 14-minute film detailing the vision of sculptor Gutzon Borglum, the remarkable engineering behind the monument, and the workers who brought it to life. Explore the Lincoln Borglum Museum, featuring fascinating exhibits on the carving process, the equipment used, and the people who shaped the mountain. Stroll the Presidential Trail, a gently inclining walkway offering unforgettable close-up views of each of the four presidents. If you go further there is a strenuous walk down to the Sculptor’s Studio to learn more about Borglum’s creative process (this is only open in summer).
