Day 6 – July 10, 2021
Today we drove to Mt Rushmore. We drove back through Badlands National Park on the way to Mt. Rushmore. There is no admission fee, but you do have to pay for parking. If you are over 62 you get a discount. We walked through the flags for all 50 states and found our home state of Florida. We looked at and took pictures. We also walked part of the way on the Trail.
Next we drove to Crazy Horse. It is still a work in progress. We watched a film about how it came to be. It cost $15 per person to get in.
Then we drove to Custer State Park where we ate lunch next to a lake. The fee to enter the park was $20. We took the Wildlife Loop road. I was hoping that we would see some Buffalo, but we didn’t. We did see one lone deer that was next to the road. We also saw some burros. They had some babies with them. The burros were friendly and came right up to you. The drive through the part was very beautiful.
We then left and headed to Deadwood where we were staying for the night.
