| Mount Rushmore Monument |
03 July 2011
Badlands National Park - Keystone
First a drive through Fort Pierre National Grassland to see the prairie as it once was when only buffalo and the Sioux Indians occupied the land. Next we go to Badlands National Park, where 37 million years of wind and water have carved out a remarkable colourful sight. Then we head deep into the Black Hills and behold the granite faces of Mount Rushmore, a giant monument to four American presidents - Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Roosevelt.

I love where you are at. Those faces are just incredible up close.
ReplyDeleteI have a picture of them while one nose was cleaned by workers, that really showed how big these heads are !
ReplyDeleteWhat a great picture thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteYou are seeing some fabulous places on your tour. This is one I've yet to visit. Perhaps the Musician and I need to sign up for one of these tours!
ReplyDeleteThere were a lot of people at Keystone and Mt. Rushmore. I guess it has something to do with the 4th of July celebrations tomorrow, so people flock to patriotic venues. In a few minutes, we'll go to the Crazy Horse monument which is also a mountain carving of the Indian Chief "Crazy Horse". Google it, you'll find it very interesting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great place to visit, I would like to see the Mt Rushmore Monument myself someday. Great photo. I hope you and Diane are having fin touring the United States.
