Per usual on this trip, lots of construction going on. The main entryway to Mt. Rushmore visitor center is lined with every flag from the 50 states and then some. Here's what it looks like now.
In fact, not only the Walk of Flags, but the visitor center is also off limits, and there is no lighting ceremony at night right now. The lighting of the figures at night is supposed to be the highlight of the trip. Also, the best views were off limits, so I can't say I'm proud of these pics.
But we enjoyed it none the less.
This is peering through the rocks-
Crazy Horse isn't far from there, so we swung by that also. They have a long way to go, but you can see progress over the last 70 years. This is the world's largest mountain carving.
They do have a terrific visitor center where we saw a native Lakota woman perform an interpretive traditional hoop dance.
Janet is always full of good advice.
ReplyDeleteI’m getting caught up with your travels. Kudos for treating yourselves to wine and chocolate! Susie looks extra happy. I hope that picture was not taken at the $75 campsite.
ReplyDeleteNo Janet, this is the $19 campsite. It is much nicer than the $75 site!
