The view of the carvings on Mount Rushmore was great. The associated cafe included bison burgers and a little something for everyone. The gift shop was extensive and had one of the Mt. Rushmore stonemasons signing his book about his experience while we were there. There is a small museum that was interesting. The only disappointment was that to get... More

Mount Rushmore was amazing!! Once you're standing there in front of the massive monument, you realize what an incredible feat it must have been to have created this masterpiece. If you get the chance to go to the lighting ceremony (usually at 9:00pm) you will not be disappointed! They had asked the Veteran's in attendance to come up on stage... More

I'm glad we went 22 years ago to see the monument, when it almost resembled the goofy 'fake' video from "North by Northwest," so that we could compare it to its current condition. As one older ranger joked with me, as we embarked on the Presidential trail which takes you right underneath the monument, "when you were last here, if... More

Everything about this was amazing. Parking was easy. The view when you first enter is fantastic but only gets better as you follow the trail. And do follow the trail and make all the stops. You will learn much about the memorial, the presidents and those who worked there. If you are lucky, there might be a working visiting the... More

Incredible being there - Had not been looking forward to this leg of our trip, but was pleasantly overwhelmed when we got there. Site is very clean and well maintained. We were very moved and happy we made the trip.

Majestic view and interesting history of its creation. Lovely hiking trail with great photo ops. Very close to Keystone and parking pass is good for the year, so we visited again the 2nd day of our trip. Beautiful display of state flags, also great photo ops

So, I'd always wanted to see Mount Rushmore. It is AMAZING! We were so lucky that when we got there it was a little bit overcast. The faces are so defined and it is just an awesome piece of America. The park is really first class and the trail around the park is a nice way to spend some time... More

I was worried my kids wouldn't get much out of it, but they and my wife and I loved it. We loved seeing the faces during the day and the lighting ceremony is a must see

Mount Rushmore is a thing you can do only once to have enough of it. It is frightening how much they charge to park your car and we will never do it again. The semi-circle trail from the viewing point is worth the effort... one time only. We found ourselves bemused that the place had closed the "artist studio" when... More
