Mount Rushmore Trip

Here are a few sample photos from our whirlwind, spur of the moment trip to South Dakota.

Guernsey Wyoming - Pioneer Wagon Wheel Ruts

Bear Country

Bear Country is a drive through wild animal park near Rapid City, SD. We saw elk, arctic wolves, timber wolves, tons of bears, cougars, etc. It was very cool to see these animals up so close.

Cosmos Mystery Area

It's amazing what your brain does when gravity doesn't appear to be pulling you in the right direction. Seriously the minute you walk into this cabin you WILL be dizzy.

Mount Rushmore!!!

Mount Rushmore was awesome! A must see for everyone.

Sylvan Lake

Sylvan lake is a beautiful lake surrounded by really cool rock formations located in Custer State Park. The girls had a blast scaling all the rocks. This is the lake you see at the end of the National Treasure 2 movie.

Needles Highway

The needles highway was the last thing we were able to see at the end of our day in South Dakota. There were several long narrow tunnels we drove through that were narrow enough that we felt we needed to fold in the mirrors on the car. The picture below shows us on top of one of these tunnels. Again, the girls got pretty good at rock climbing at the end of the day.
