  • Mount Rushmore National Memorial is located in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota. Gutzon Borglum along with his son carved the 60 foot heads of some of our most famous U.S. Presidents (Washington, Jefferson. T. Roosevelt and Lincoln). We visited the site both in the day and evening. In this video we also show our dinner and hike to the base of the Memorial.

    Being from SD, I have seen this 3-4 times......I had the honor to sing the National Anthem with the SD Honors Choir back in 1988 at the start of the program for the lighting ceremony........love the Black Hills!!!

      You have some great stories to tell! And what an honor that is! Enjoyed seeing how patriotic the presentation was. Having visiting many of the Parks in the US, the Black Hills is still among my favorite areas!

    Randy, it was 1976 when I visited Mt. Rushmore . . . don't remember the parking garage then, it was just a parking lot. I think that garage and new visitor center was built in 1990's. I am glad I was able to visit the he original Visitor Center with the Buffalo Dining Room and Gift Shop that was featured in the Hitchcock movie "North By Northwest" and now the facility is much expanded to allow many more to visit in a single day. Your video tour is great, and the evening show looks inviting, THANKS FOR SHARING! . . . Mike

    The furthest west I've been in the states was to Mount Rushmore. I would love to go back and explore more of it. I was only there for a couple hours.Such an amazing place. That pulled pork looked so delicious. Another good one Randy!

      Thanks, Josh! Look forward to checking out some vids from your recent Mexico trip! Also - agree with your other comment about disengaging. It's a fun hobby, but UA-cam can easily pull us away from the things that are more profitable in life (people, working, exercising, reading, etc.). Glad I'm now caught up on editing our summer trips - plan to significantly limit my involvement.

    Hey that’s Avery Brooks voice narrating the evening show, who starred in: 1987’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Hawk from Spencer for Hire, and Capt. Benjamin Sisko from Star Trek DS9. He’s got quite the voice. He also did a History Channel series documentary called Ancient Evidence, which explored into biblical and historical evidence. That must have been quite the show for you and your daughter to come out of there feeling patriotic.

    • @AmericasParks
      @AmericasParks  4 роки тому +1

      Neat to learn that, John! And yes it was quite a patriotic experience. Regarding so many changes, nice to know it is still promoted at times in our country.

    Our boys are younger, but we try to have a "meet up" plan if we get separated. It's never happened, so we quit making a plan. Thanks for reminding me that it is important! We didn't make the evening show. This makes me sorry we did, but we now have a reason to go back!

    • @AmericasParks

      Right on! Yeah, my kids are getting older and the separation thing hasn't been much of a concern, especially since we hike together and often take remote trails. This one caught us by surprise!

    Looks like a hi-tech show at night! Maybe that's part of the fees to park. Did your National Parks Pass help with the cost? Dealing with that crowd in the that small of an area, will not be something we are looking forward to. ;-) Thanks for taking us along on your adventure!

    • @AmericasParks
      @AmericasParks  6 років тому +1

      I hear you! Never a big fan of the large crowds. It's unfortunate that most of our best parks are just overrun with people. I'm grateful people want to see these amazing sites, but it really makes getting around tough. I'm learning where to go both in the park and location at the specific park to enjoy some space. ...and park pass didn't help - I always ask!
