This was what Dane was looking forward to the whole trip! The history buff was in awe of Mount Rushmore, we even bought a Mount Rushmore puzzle! All the bikers were enjoying the view too, in case anyone was wondering. Apparently it attracts 2 million people a year, and I feel that about half of those were bikers on August 11. Just my hunch haha! Carving began in 1927 and was never completed because they ran out of money. We were imagining Obama's head up there with Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt and Lincoln. Dane tells me this will never happen though. The faces are 60 feet high... massive! Definitely worth our massive detour down to South Dakota.
Our first view of Mount Rushmore, and the beginning of the invasion of Harley Davidson.
The view from the Presidential Trail. The trail went along the base and gave the opportunity for many closer pictures free of thousands of people. Definitely would recommend the trail! Dane said it was his favourite part.
Dane being a history geek, er... buff.
Dogs aren't allowed "in" Mount Rushmore, so this is as close as she got. At least the traveling pooch can check Mount Rushmore off her bucket list!
