The next morning we took the Iron Mountain Road up to see Mount Rushmore and then onto the Crazy Horse memorial. Iron Mountain Road is one of two scenic drives in the Black Hills that has these super narrow tunnels. Technically the Shasta would fit through all the tunnels and the photo opp potential is pretty amazing, but to keep things on the safe side we left the trailer at the campsite. (Secretly though.... I still wonder if we can find our way back here for a few hundred photos of the Shasta in these tunnels sometime!)
Mount Rushmore is simply amazing and is definitely not one of those landmarks that is smaller in real life than you thought it was. The sculpture exhibits on how the work was done and the study or reference models are really interesting as well. The Crazy Horse memorial is also an amazing piece of sculpture, but one that will be in progress for many years to come. Work has been underway for over 60 years and the original sculptors family is now continuing on his work.
