Don't speed up to the monument without taking time to enjoy the gorgeous scenery that surrounds it. I agree with the previous poster's comments that whomever made the decision to put that concrete obstruction right in the line of view made a grievous error in judgment. That having been said, it is still quite impressive. The cost to get in... More

My partner and I were visiting the SouthWest and Yellowstone Park, and added a stop on Rapid City to our trip, just to get to see Mount Rushmore. We visited it on Sep 5th, 2011.

I expected that we would look at the carving, be impressed and that would be it. However, this is an excellent site to visit. The trail at the bottom is a must do with a native American exhibit and signs telling about each president. The cafeteria is excellent. We returned one night to attend the lighting ceremony. In all very... More
