Mount Rushmore National Memorial
Mount
Rushmore National Memorial, a unit of the National Park System, is
located 25 miles southwest of Rapid City, SD via U.S. 16. These
times are subject to change from year to year. Visits should
begin at the Information Center. The Lincoln Borglum Museum has
exhibits on the carving of Mount Rushmore, two 13-minute films, an
information desk, restrooms, and a bookstore. The Sculptor’s
Studio, closed in the winter, displays models and tools used in the
carving process. The half-mile Presidential Trail begins at the Grand
View Terrace and provides access to viewing sites below the
faces. There is no admission fee to the park; there is a charge
for parking.
