Our journey begins as we round up all of our travelers and hit the trail headed west.

Day 2 – Touring the Black Hills

This morning we will visit Mount Rushmore and enjoy this spectacular memorial created by Gutzon Borglum to convey his meaning of America. Hike the trails, visit the museums, and enjoy this spectacular memorial. Later we will travel to Hill City where we will board an 1880 Train for a trip back in time. The old steam engine, just like those that traveled to settle the west, will take us through the beautiful Black Hills where mountains rise in the distance and deer run in the meadows. When we arrive in Keystone we will head for the Big Thunder Gold Mine that was discovered in 1882 and mined until about 1920. We’ll tour the mine and then pan for some gold – who knows what you will leave the mine with!!! We will enjoy a meal together at the KBarS Lodge and then gather around the camp re for some good camp re stories and maybe a S’more (or two)!

We’ll have lunch at the State Park’s Blue Bell Lodge. This afternoon we’ll make a stop at Sylvan Lake and view the “needle” like rocks climbing out of this beautiful lake. We continue on to Crazy Horse Memorial, a work in progress, and visiting its museum which tells the story of the American Indians in this area. Later this afternoon we travel to the Circle B Ranch for a good old Chuckwagon dinner and great entertainment. Our wonderful day will end with a short ride back to the Inn.
