Mt Rushmore









These were the stairs that went down, we still had the ones that went up.






We also went to Mt Rushmore this afternoon. It too is quite impressive but we would have been more impressed if we had gone here first. The four heads of Mt Rushmore will fit on the face of Crazy Horse. It is still a beautiful place. The walkway is lined with state flags and each state has a facet of the post with their entrance to the Union date and what number they were when they entered. The snack shop has pictures of every president to date. There is a nice walk to viewing areas. A thunder storm decided to come through while we were on the boardwalk so we did the end rather aerobically :-) Of course it had to be the strenuous part of the hike. We were rather gasping for air when we reached the end of all the stairs, so sad.
