Visit Mount Rushmore National Memorial, a massive sculpture carved into Mount Rushmore in the Black Hills region of South Dakota. See the faces of U.S. presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln.

Start your tour at an iconic South Dakota landmark. Watch a 14-minute video narrated by Tom Brokaw about the carving, the sculptor Gutzon Borglum, and the workers.

Visit the Lincoln Borglum Museum to see displays about Borglum, his family and his works, the mountain and machinery, and the workers. Walk the Presidential Trail, a gradually inclining walk that goes under the faces in the rock rubble with great spots for pictures of the individual faces.

If you go further, take a strenuous walk down to the Sculptor’s Studio (open only in the summer months), then back up to the viewing terrace. See the Avenue of Flags, representing all 50 states and territories, along with their respective dates of admission to the Union.

Stop for a picture at the side profile of George Washington.
