We rented a four person ATV for 1/2 day. In hindsight we should have rented for a whole day. There is so much to explore with an ATV. We went on one trail and drove up to get a view of Mount Rushmore and stopped another time to hike to a small swimming area. The owners were very friendly and informative. They showed us how to use the vehicle and provided us with a map as well as information on how to use the app to track where you’ve traveled. I’m not usually good with technology but the owner was correct in recommending to use both the map and app. Together they worked so well to help us make the most of our time. I also filled out all the paperwork online to save time. The vehicle worked great and I recommend this activity as well as this business to anyone visiting the area!

Hiking trail at Mount Rushmore.

Great .8 mile trail around Mount Rushmore. You can get very close to the memorial to get great pictures. The trail is paved and part way wheelchair accessible. I recommend doing the audio tour which gives a lot of insight into the history of the memorial and the people involved with it.

Sculptor Gutzon Borglum created this famous mountainside carving of the visages of four great American presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.

Always near the top of my bucket list, it was truly an awe inspiring experience walking down the avenue of flags of the states and getting to view Mount Rushmore. A must see for any American or even any fan of history and art. The carved out heads are larger than life and truly spectacular. I highly recommend hiking the half mile presidential trail loop as it offers glimpses of the presidents from different angles and provides some information about the presidents as well.

On our way through Keystone, we decided to stop at this local attraction, to try the aerial ropes course Although the tickets for the course are a quite pricey, I would say that if you going to spend at least 1.5 hours, you will be getting your money's worth. The ropes course includes around 6-8 routes of varying degrees of difficulty from quite easy to very challenging. The ropes course of almost entirley in the trees, meaning that while you are climbing around, you can take in the beauty of the Black Hills forests while you are at it.
