- Mount Rushmore National Memorial - Expert guides bring the Memorial’s history to life, ensuring perfect photo opportunities at the best viewpoints. To include all the fantastic stops on this full-day adventure, 75 minutes are spent at this location at a comfortable pace.
- Iron Mountain Road - More than just a drive, Iron Mountain Road is an unforgettable American journey. Spanning 17 miles through South Dakota’s breathtaking Black Hills, this engineering marvel boasts 314 curves, 14 switchbacks, and 3 spiraling “pigtail” bridges that loop over themselves. It is renowned for its narrow, one-lane stone tunnels that perfectly frame Mount Rushmore National Memorial in the distance.
With a maximum speed limit of just 35 mph, this road encourages slowing down, opening the convertible top, and experiencing a rare, captivating piece of wilderness.
- Custer State Park Visitor Center - Bring the wilderness to life! Explore massive dioramas of buffalo and local wildlife throughout the park. Check out the interactive map—narrated by a park ranger—to track the animals’ latest locations. Plus, enjoy a variety of hands-on, touch-and-feel exhibits perfect for curious explorers.
- Wildlife Loop Road - Enjoy a leisurely convertible top safari along the 18-mile scenic corridor. Observe diverse wildlife such as bison, elk, pronghorn, and prairie dogs in their natural habitat. Take advantage of the sliding top with dedicated stops designed for optimal photography and panoramic viewing.
- Stockade Lake - Stockade Lake is the largest and most serene lake in Custer State Park. A scenic lakeside picnic is included during the stop.
- Sylvan Lake - Sylvan Lake is the most recognizable of the five lakes in Custer State Park, if not the entire Black Hills region. It is a certified favorite for visitors, especially photographers, artists, and fans of the Nicolas Cage movie National Treasure: Book of Secrets.
- Needle Eye Tunnel - Experience one of the most unique single-lane tunnels on the route. Perfectly engineered for cars and vans—but too narrow for buses and RVs—this tight squeeze is a thrilling highlight.
Relax and let the team handle the road while enjoying the spectacular views from the convertible top vehicle.
- Crazy Horse Memorial - Stop to explore this massive Native American memorial, which houses over 14,000 exhibits. Watch an inspiring 20-minute film detailing the memorial’s history, the vision behind its construction, and the numerous challenges faced in completing it.
