We're headed that way ourselves (husband and I) on the 20th (Friday) for two weeks. Intentionally meant to miss Sturgis while ongoing. Great tips on the Mt. Rushmore/Crazy Horse sites.
I strongly disagree with you on Crazy Horse Bro. To me that was much better than Rushmore and it is way bigger than Rushmore and not a dime of government money has been spent on it. If you watched the movie it really gives you an appreciation for this man's vision and how it was carried out. I've been there when they set off some dynomite too and that's something you won't see at Rushmore.For Crazy Horse just pull off the road near it and look-- ain't much more to see than that.
I agree, its pretty cool how big it actually is compared to mount, and the store behind it is really cool! but im with Dan on the needles! beyond cool you never get tired of itand the bridge that spirals down the mountain AWESOME!!!I strongly disagree with you on Crazy Horse Bro.

You can put all of Rushmore in just the head of Crazy Horse. nojokeI agree, its pretty cool how big it actually is compared to mount, and the store behind it is really cool! but im with Dan on the needles! beyond cool you never get tired of itand the bridge that spirals down the mountain AWESOME!!!
Always have plenty of water on hand--- and sunblock---- and lip baum so yer lips don't get burnt-- ask me how I know----
Oh--- and fill up yer tank whenever you get down to around a 1/4 tank--- couple times I was on fumes-- and one of our guys really ran low and wouldn't have made it to the next station the Garmin mentioned--- but we found an old 1-pump station that worked after they let it cool down.
Don't be fussy about what gas you're running out there--- you can't afford to be -- -sometimes gotta take what you can get.
Make sure and hit the Needles highway ride--- really nice!

I honestly didn't know that it wasn't completed! Then I get there and find out that it won't be completed in any of our lifetimes... ugggg.
I really was clueless about it--still am.
We didn't watch the movie..probably should have.
