This place is phenomenal!! The walkway with all the flags of the states leading to the mountain is spectacular. The museum with different artifacts and history about the making of this monument is incredible. Gifts are available for those who wish something besides photographs to commemorate a visit here. Rangers and other employees are super friendly. This is a must... More

This is on my bucket list of to do's and it really did live up to expectations, It was amazing, entrance fee wasnt expensive and admission is reusable for a year (not good if you have a rental car though, as its done on Licence plate #). I was in awe of how close you were to the carvings, excellant... More

I'm not particularly patriotic, but this was something else. Beautiful sculpture. Wish we had more time there, but had to make the departure time of the HORRIBLE1880 train. I look forward to our next trip.

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
