Mount Rusmore

De Mount Rusmore (folslein: Mount Rushmore National Memorial) is in nasjonaal park dat yn de Black Hills leit fan Súd Dakota, tichtby Keystone. Yn it park hawwe de Amerikanen in monumint makke as oantinken fan de berte, de waaksdom en ûntwikkeling fan de Feriene Steaten fan Amearika. De oerflakte fan it park is om-ende-by 5 km².

Tusken 1927 en 31 oktober 1941 hawwe sa'n 400 arbeiders ûnder lieding fan Gutzon Borglum de 18 meter hege boarstbylden fan de Amerikaanske presidenten George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt en Abraham Lincoln yn de rotswand úthakke. It symbolisearret de earste 150 jier fan de skiednis fan Feriene Steaten.

It took 14 years and a team of 400 sculptors, led by Gutzon Borglum, to complete this massive "Shrine of Democracy," dedicated in 1941.

I was expecting a much more noisy and commercial place. Instead it was well made, lots of information presented in a tasteful way. Clean and nice architecture. And proper quality in shops. Go there!

Walk around the park! There's a trail that takes you closer to the monument, a must see! Also, if you drive on by car it's $11 for a year pass!

Must see. Beat the crowds by going early in the morning. Only a $10 parking fee for each car. Great vantage points from everywhere. President's trail is nice walk.

1000% worth the trip. Stay in keystone so you can come back to watch the evening show and see the monument lit up.

Always one of the highlights of my trips to the Black Hills. Go in the morning for the best shots of the Presidents before the sun casts more shadows on the faces.
