We started our trip driving through the Black Hills to get to Mount Rushmore.
It costs $10 to park at Mount Rushmore but the parking pass is good for 1 year.We did the Presidential Trail 1/2 mile loop.
After we left the park we drove the Iron Mountain Rd which had cool tunnels.
View from Norbeck Overlook on Hwy 16 A
We went back in the evening to see the monument illuminated, but it was a little disappointing. They do more of a program in the summer but not in October.
