Mount Rushmore

I’m sure you’ve seen pictures of Mount Rushmore before. Generally the ones available are these noble, inspiring shots taken from fairly close in with deep blue sky in the background. Have you ever seen any like these? This is what you see when you don’t actually drive in to the monument itself, but rather simply skirt around the outside.

Did you know there’s a “profile view” of Mount Rushmore? I didn’t until we came to the scenic overlook. The road skirts right around the mountain on it’s way to Keystone. I think I enjoyed this view as much as the official one.

Have you ever been there? What did you think?
