We saw a pretty lake on the drive up to Mt Rushmore and stopped to check it out. Jonathan always being adventurous, jumped out onto a rock in the lake.
Jonathan posed me here. He was looking for pensive.
I nailed it!
Standing next to Oregon!
While waiting for the sun to set, we walked on the trail around the area. I was cool to see Mt Rushmore from all different angles. The walk had about 250 stairs on it.
The night lighting started with a informative speech from a park Ranger, then we watched a 20min video, followed by the National anthem, and the lighting of the monument.
Then they asked anybody who had served or is currently serving in the military to go on stage and state their names.
It was really cool to see.
Mt. Rushmore is amazing to see in person! Glad you had such a beautiful day for viewing!
