Another Trip to the USA / The Black Hills, SD - Mount Rushmore

Our first stop on the way from Rapid City to the monument was Keystone. 
What an absolute tourist trap and ugly place that has become. 
Thankfully, virtually nothing was open apart from a few shops selling obscene t-shirts, tacky souvenirs and jewellery.
We had thought about doing the 1880 Railroad trip but opted instead for a olde western photo shoot which was fun.
So guess we fell into the tourist trap just a little.








A trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota is not complete without a visit to Mount Rushmore.
This was my second visit.
It never fails to impress.
Despite the cold temperature and strong winds we did the base walk which gives you and even closer look.
It’s a bit of a strenuous walk up and down stairs but well worth the effort.

















Then there’s this pic (not mine) from the air which is also very impressive.
