Mt Rushmore and Crazy Horse - South Dakota

We added this part of the trip specifically at my request. Ever since watching the movie, Richie Rich, I have wanted to see the face sculptures.
We stayed at a BnB called Dakota Dream in Custer. The drive to Mt Rushmore takes less than an hour, through the Custer State Forest.
The 5th face

There is also another sculpture in progress of Crazy Horse. It is the world's largest mountain carving. The project started in 1948 and is due to be completed by ......….
There is a model of the finished sculpture at the viewing veranda.
