Mount Rushmore

South Dakota

Mount Rushmore in the Black Hills of South Dakota features the 60-foot carved faces of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. It was sculpted by Gutzon Borglum between 1927 and 1941.

Mount Rushmore anchors the Black Hills region of South Dakota, one of the best-value road trip destinations in the country. The carving, the surrounding peaks, and the nearby Badlands and Custer State Park make it a complete road trip in one region.

Add Mount Rushmore to a national parks road trip, plan a wider US road trip, or read the virtual road trip guide before you hit the road.
