Feeling patriotic

Crazy Horse was not far from our hotel (Bavarian Inn in Custer, SD...I highly recommend), so we stopped there for dinner. Afterward, we headed back to Mount Rushmore for the evening program.

At Mount Rushmore, they really emphasize America. They want you to feel patriotic. As part of the evening program, they show an inspirational film about how the monument was constructed and why they chose the faces they did. The lighting of the sculpture felt almost anti-climactic.

It took a long time to get out of the parking lot. Oh well, it was still a good end to Day 4.
