Additional Information

Twice the Experience - Both Informative and Fun!

  1. Mt Rushmore Night Ceremony ​​-
    We pick you up at your downtown hotel in our unique Woody vans. You will enjoy fantastic views of the Black Hills National Forest along the way . Arriving at the monument 7:00pm you walk Avenue of Flags before enjoying the ceremony in the beautiful outdoor amphitheater. At 8:00pm the program begins with an introduction from a national park ranger and continues with an informative film about the creation of Mt Rushmore. ​Very patriotic with honoring our veterans at the end.

  2. Iron Mtn Road -
    At the conclusion of the Ceremony - we exit the Monument and drive slowly up the famous Iron Mountain Road, up the twisting pigtail bridges. Near the top we stop and you will view the Four Faces framed in the dark one way tunnels. Few visitors view the Monument this way.

Weather permitting, before we return you to your hotel, you will be able to view the evening stars . . . away from the cities ambient light.

  • Handicap Van is available for wheelchair touring. Van has convertible top that slides open as needed and has large side windows. Contact us if you have special needs.

No one should miss this experience - it's absolutely wonderful. Our Tour Guide Charlie was the absolute best - - The whole experience was stunning - the lighting, honoring our Veterans and the tunnels after to stargaze. Charlie was an amazing tour guide = so knowledgeable. Much more knowledgeab le than our tour guide on our tour

Would do this tour again for sure !! - We were blessed with one of the best tour guides ever !! Joe made our trip to Mount Rushmore even better with his wealth of knowledge of the area. Joe went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable. He walked with us to the Monument seating area, and he pointed out an area that we could escape from the rain if necessary. The Iron Mountain Tour that followed the lighting ceremony at Mount Rushmore was awesome !! Viewing the unique Pigtail bridges, the narrow tunnels, and the stars at night was made best by viewing from the open top Mercedes Benz van. Add a blanket supplied by Joe, and a chilly but comfortable breeze, and how could you not enjoy this tour?! We certainly enjoyed it, and highly recommend it. If you are really lucky, your tour guide will be Joe. He is friendly, and fun !! Enjoy the tour !!!

Mt Rushmore after dark. - Great history lessons from our driver Charles. Loved Iron Mountain Tunnels at night. Scary yet awesome to see Mt Rushmore lite while driving through the one lane tunnel that was pitch black!!!

Awesome experience - Highly recommend this tour and Ryan. We lucked out and were the only ones on the tour that day and we enjoyed seeing the sights with Ryan. Ryan was very informative, answered all our questions, and knew just where to go. The scenery was awesome, there was plenty of water, we had a nice picnic at the park, saw Mount Rushmore from multiple viewpoints, and saw lots of buffalo.

Great tour! - Ryan was a great tour guide! We saw many things that we would never have known about on our own. We had a great day and our favorite was visiting the Bison. My kids loved it!

Bison - Loved our trip. Our guide went above and beyond to keep us entertained. Loved the picnic at the Lake. We saw probably more than 250 buffalo up close.

Canceled on us - We were waiting for the shuttle. When it was 10 minutes late I checked my email and they canceled our trip because of not having enough people on the tour. This after we took a Lyft to our pickup location
