In reply to Oh, the Places We See. I can image the time and money, construction and man power involved. It surely is a gorgeous monument!

In reply to Miriam Hurdle. If I remember correctly, it was intended to include more clothing, but time and money prevented that from happening. What a massive undertaking, one that we still can appreciate today.

Your photos are gorgeous and the story was informative. I would love to add this to our future travel plan. The sculpture at the Sculptor’s Studio showed a bit more of the upper bodies than the monument. I wonder if if was the initial intention. Thank you for the info and suggestions, Rusha!

In reply to anotherday2paradise. It’s pretty awesome — and surprisingly so, for me.

It certainly is a breathtaking sight. I’ll never forget my first sighting of it as we drove up around the bend in the road and there it was in all its glory.

In reply to Oh, the Places We See. Well at least you were able to see it during the day - get all the details that way

In reply to JudyinFrance. It's pretty impressive, and we learned a lot from the Rangers. Not only that, I was taken by how professional all of it seems --- not junky as some tourist sites are. It's well done and worth a trip.

That is a really fascinating monument. I was there as a child but I think I’ll have to take my husband.

In reply to The Wandering RVer. It was pretty crowded when we were there as well. Right now might be best when people are just starting to travel again. Although the park is open, though, I'm not sure if the Rangers are doing talks nor am I sure the food venues are open. Nothing on the website lets me know. Thanks for taking a look and commenting. Mt. Rushmore is truly an American treasure!
