Mount Rushmore National Memorial

Mount Rushmore National Memorial is one of the most iconic and unusual spots in the United States where four massive stone faces emerge from a granite cliff high in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The 3-D likenesses of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln tower above the landscape as a testament to American ingenuity and creativity. When you visit, you can check out the sculptures from below, walk through the studio where sculptor Gutzon Borglum designed the monument, and hike through the hilly landscape. You won't be alone; more than 3 million visitors head to Mount Rushmore every year. Summers are busy, but spring and fall bring pleasant temperatures and lower crowd levels.
