Wow. I never really imagined Rushmore as it was. It’s much more impressive than mere photos suggest. We got up early and drove along US 16A to Rushmore; when we got there, it was overcast and cool, which was great for picture-taking. The pictures do a better job of describing the scene than I can, so here are a couple.

I loved Mt. Rushmore. I just wish they hadn’t had that mile walk up a mountain to get there from the parking lot. Keep the trip coming.
