Why go to Mount Rushmore National Monument and Crazy Horse Memorial in an RV
The Adventure Travelers (Mike and Melissa) drove through South Dakota in a 30 foot Sunseeker RV and stopped for a visit at both Mount Rushmore National Monument and Crazy Horse Memorial. This video explains the memorials and why you should go visit in the off season in your RV.
Mount Rushmore was completed in 1941 by Lincoln Borglum, who was the son of the original sculpture, Gutzon Borglum, who started the monument. Carved in solid granite, the 60 foot high monument depicts Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.
The monument is solid but fragile because of environmental factors like snow, extreme temperatures, rain cracks and more. The monument requires constant care and monitoring.
We were there during April/May and there was still snow on the ground in South Dakota so some of the hiking trails were closed.
We felt the closed trails was worth the empty visitors center and parking lots! The parking is $10 and you can get in free with a United States National Park Pass (about $80 per year). It wsa a little tight getting through the parking gate but we managed. There were plenty of open parking spots for RVs.
Once you see the monument there is not much else to do, so we cruised around in the museum, which was actually very cool and great for all ages. We like the exhibit where you can blow up a mountain side!
One of the sculptors of Mount Rushmore was actually commissioned to create the neighboring Crazy Horse monument.
The Crazy Horse Memorial was started in 1941 and is about a twenty minute drive away from Mount Rushmore. The sculpture has no finish date, but when completed will be the largest sculpture in the world. Korczak Ziolkowski was commissioned by Henry Standing Bear. Ziolkowski included his entire family in this effort and many of the family members still work on the memorial and other projects on the property including the Indian Museum of North America and the Indian University of North America. The fees depend on the number of people but our fee was $22 plus $8 for the school bus ride up to the base of the mountain. You can pay $150 per person to go up close and get personal with the monument too. The gift shop was amazing and included authentic gifts. The museum was spectacular and includes about a 45 minute video that explains the monument and the special family who has dedicated their lives to this incredible creation. The museum was huge with many rooms filled with artifacts, beading work and stunning pieces of Indian clothing. I could have stayed all day!

Mount Rushmore National Memorial is a sculpture carved into the granite face of Mount Rushmore, a batholith in the Black Hills in Keystone, South Dakota, United States. Sculpted by Gutzon Borglum and his son, Lincoln Borglum, Mount Rushmore features 60-foot (18 m) sculptures of the heads of four United States presidents: George Washington (1732–1799), Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826), Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919), and Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865).[2] The memorial park covers 1,278.45 acres (2.00 sq mi; 5.17 km2)[3] and is 5,725 feet (1,745 m) above sea level.[4]
South Dakota historian Doane Robinson is credited with conceiving the idea of carving the likenesses of famous people into the Black Hills region of South Dakota in order to promote tourism in the region. Robinson's initial idea was to sculpt the Needles; however, Gutzon Borglum rejected the Needles because of the poor quality of the granite and strong opposition from Native American groups. They settled on Mount Rushmore, which also has the advantage of facing southeast for maximum sun exposure. Robinson wanted it to feature American West heroes like Lewis and Clark, Red Cloud,[5] and Buffalo Bill Cody,[6] but Borglum decided the sculpture should have broader appeal and chose the four presidents.More info please visit:

USA SNOW MONUMENTS (People build monuments of U.S. presidents out of snow)
Two Americans spent President's Day weekend building sculptures of snow to honor some of United States greatest leaders on Monday. (February 17)
David Holmes of Minnetonka, Minnesota said he enjoys building seasonal art on his front yard and this year's main work is a recreation of Mount Rushmore out of snow.
Dubbing it Mount Snowmore Holmes carved out Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln out of snow.
The Minnesotan told local media he started carving the statue last week but had to wait for the weather to warm up so he could pack the snow because in the extreme cold the snow has been too dry to work with so it could not be sculpted.
Not to be outdone this holiday weekend, a Towson, Maryland resident built a statue of President Abraham Lincoln out of snow that would have made the original monument's sculptor, Daniel Chester French, proud. The Marylander recreated President Lincoln sitting in contemplation just as he does at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C.
Mount Rushmore National Memorial - FULL VIDEO TOUR (Keystone, SD)
There isn't a while lot to do in South Dakota! Everything is kinda crammed into the bottom west corner, however, once you're in that bottom corner, there is a lot to see and do, including: Mount Rushmore, Wall Drug and Crazy Horse! The car park to the memorial is private, so they charge for this. We found free parking 0.5 miles away and had a nice stroll into the memorial area. There is also a mini loop which takes you closer to the memorial (inside the park). In the evening they run a free light show which is worth checking out!
Mount Rushmore National Memorial is a sculpture carved into the granite face of Mount Rushmore, a granite batholith formation in the Black Hills in Keystone, South Dakota, United States. Sculpted by Danish-American Gutzon Borglum and his son, Lincoln Borglum, Mount Rushmore features 60-foot (18 m) sculptures of the heads of four United States presidents: George Washington (1732–1799), Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826), Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919), and Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865). The entire memorial covers 1,278.45 acres (2.00 sq mi; 5.17 km2)[3] and is 5,725 feet (1,745 m) above sea level.
South Dakota historian Doane Robinson is credited with conceiving the idea of carving the likenesses of famous people into the Black Hills region of South Dakota in order to promote tourism in the region. Robinson's initial idea was to sculpt the Needles; however, Gutzon Borglum rejected the Needles site because of the poor quality of the granite and strong opposition from Native American groups. They settled on the Mount Rushmore location, which also has the advantage of facing southeast for maximum sun exposure. Robinson wanted it to feature western heroes like Lewis and Clark, Red Cloud, and Buffalo Bill Cody, but Borglum decided the sculpture should have a more national focus and chose the four presidents whose likenesses would be carved into the mountain. After securing federal funding through the enthusiastic sponsorship of Mount Rushmore's great political patron, U.S. Senator Peter Norbeck, construction on the memorial began in 1927, and the presidents' faces were completed between 1934 and 1939. Upon Gutzon Borglum's death in March 1941, his son Lincoln Borglum took over construction. Although the initial concept called for each president to be depicted from head to waist, lack of funding forced construction to end in late October 1941.
Mount Rushmore has become an iconic symbol of the United States, and has appeared in works of fiction, and has been discussed or depicted in other popular works. It attracts over two million people annually.[1]

Mount Rushmore National Monument, Black Hills, S.D.
Although Mount Rushmore stands today as a shrine of democracy, a National Monument and memorial to this country's birth, growth, and ideals, the original idea behind the carving was to promote tourism to the Black Hills area of South Dakota. Today, Mount Rushmore symbolizes the greatness of this nation through the greatness of its leaders.
Carved into the granite face of Mount Rushmore near Keystone, South Dakota and sculpted by Danish-American Gutzon Borglum and his son, Lincoln Borglum, Mount Rushmore features 60-foot sculptures of the heads of four United States presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. These presidents were selected by Borglum because of their role in preserving the Republic and expanding its territory.
The image of Thomas Jefferson was originally intended to appear in the area at Washington's right, but after the work there was begun, the rock was found to be fragile and unsuitable, so the work on the Jefferson figure was dynamited, and a new figure was sculpted to Washington's left.
From October 4, 1927 to October 31, 1941, John Gutzon Borglum and some 400 workers erected the sculpture under dangerous conditions, removing a total of 450,000 tons of rock in order to create the enormous carved heads, each of which reached a height of 60 feet. Borglum left his work on the Stone Mountain Confederate Memorial project near Atlanta after artistic disagreements with the sponsors of that project.
The initial concept called for each president to be depicted from head to waist, lack of funding forced construction to end in late October 1941.
The Washington head was formally dedicated in 1930, followed by Jefferson in 1936, Lincoln in 1937 and Roosevelt in 1939. Borglum, a member of the Ku Klux Klan died in March 1941. The final dedication was not held until 50 years later. John Gutzon Borglum supervised the completion of the heads. Carving stopped in October 1941, on the eve of our entry into World War II.
The U.S. National Park Service took control of the memorial in 1933, while it was still under construction, and has managed the memorial to the present day. It attracts nearly three million people annually.
The project cost a total of $989,992.32. The entire memorial covers 1,278.45 acres and is 5,725 feet above sea level.
Sculpted on land given to Native Americans by treaty, Mount Rushmore is one of the most inflammatory and blasphemous symbols of what was taken from them. For this reason, they have contracted the carving of an enormous Monument to Chief Crazy Horse on a mountain not far from Rushmore. That carving is incomplete.
Fun facts about The faces on Mt. Rushmore:
*Creation of the Shrine of Democracy took 14 years and cost a mere $1 million.
*Rushmore's granite faces tower 5,725 feet above sea level.
*The carvings on Mount Rushmore are scaled to men who would stand 465 feet tall.
*Each head on Mt. Rushmore is as tall as a six-story building.
*More than 800 million pounds of stone were removed from Mount Rushmore while carving the presidents.
*Each president's face is as tall as the entire Great Sphinx of Egypt, measuring 60 feet from the chin to the top of the head.
*The presidents' noses are 20 feet long, each mouth 18 feet wide and the eyes are 11 feet across.
*The workers had to climb 506 steps daily to get to the top of Mount Rushmore.

12 Surprising Facts About Mount Rushmore!
From its creation, to some secrets that aren't well known, join me as we discover 12 surprising facts about Mount Rushmore!
12. The Reason For The Presidents
The United States has many monuments dedicated to its many Presidents who have made true history over the years. Such as the Washington and Lincoln Memorials in Washington DC, the nations' capital. So many people sometimes ask why George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt were selected of the dozens of Presidents to be put on the mountain that is Mount Rushmore.
The simple and honest answer is that when you combine what these four did, they helped make a vast majority of what the United States is today in one form or another.
George Washington was the man who helped lead the Continental Army against the British in the Revolutionary War, and when he was President, he was a symbol for the nations' birth. So thus Creation earned him his spot.
Thomas Jefferson also played a part in America's Independence. And when he was the 3rd President of the United States, he went and made a deal in 1803 with France's leader Napoleon to get the Louisiana Purchase, which gave the United States double the land it had before. To his name is Expansion associated with.
Abraham Lincoln had the dubious honor of being President during the first and only Civil War in history of the United States. Though his hard work and dedication and faith in America, the North was able to beat the South and be a singular country once again. So thus Unification was Lincoln's ticket to the mountain.
And finally, Theodore Roosevelt did a lot of things during his time as President, including getting a Nobel Peace Prize by helping bring peace to another war (Russia and Japan). But he also realized that to help our nation grow, we must preserve nature. So he helped set up nature reserves all over the country that continue to this day. He helped the Preservation of America.
So as you can see, these four men, two of whom never met the others, all helped shape America to what it is today, and for that, we are all grateful. And to that end, they earned their places on Mount Rushmore.
11. The Secret Room
When it comes to a monument like Mount Rushmore, especially in terms of the sheer size of it, you almost have to wonder if there was an ulterior motive for making it. And throughout the history of it there have been plenty of tall tales about what's actually within the massive mountain. Including ancient Native American gold as the movie National Treasure Book Of Secrets said.
However, in truth, there is a secret in the mountain, but it's a room.
The room itself is within Abe Lincoln's section of the place, and it was designed by the actual sculptor of Mount Rushmore, which actually makes a lot of sense when you think about it. The sculptor made a secret room with a rather beautiful purpose, for he wanted to contain the entire history of America within this room. Likely so that if anything happened to the country, these artifacts would likely remain. The sculptor had parts of the room dedicated to the Bill of Rights, the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and more. So this isn't a conspiracy room, it's actually one of preservation, Teddy would be proud.
He died before being able to complete the History of America, but others took up the cause within the room. It's actually unknown just how much is within the room now, as well as what other documents might be in there. Which brings us to the other part of the secret room...it's going to stay a secret in terms of its true look and contents.
There are no tours of the room, and since the door is actually on Abe Lincoln's face, you can't just go up there and get in. So while its purpose isn't mysterious, what actually remains in there now most definitely is.
A true secret room many decades after it was built to be anything but.
10. Why The Black Hills?
Let's talk about location for a bit, shall we? When you think of some of the biggest and most popular monuments in the world, you associate them with big cities or areas. The Space Needles is in Seattle, Washington. The Washington and Lincoln Memorials are in Washington D.C., the Empire State Building is in New York, the Golden Gate Bridge is in San Francisco and so on and so forth. But Mount Rushmore is in South Dakota...not exactly a big state, or a popular state in terms of how many people live there (not even one million at last census).
So why was this landmark put in the Black Hills of South Dakota? Simple, in 1923 a historian named Doane Robinson wanted to BRING more people to South Dakota. And he felt that a monument, especially one that would symbolize the country via its Presidents, would attract a lot of folks.
Sure enough, over 3 million people a year go and visit Mount Rushmore. Nearly 4 times as many people go see than the monument than those who actually live in the state.
Tourism, it's a fuel for just about anything.
