Mr Rushmore/Custer State Park

Another of the tiny, one-lane tunnels on this road through the "Needles".

This spire, pictured above, is where the area got its name. Way too large to get in one frame from anywhere we wanted to climb.

This is Sylvan Lake on the drive and included here because it was not only pretty, it may well have been the rocky area featured in the movie National Treasure II which featured the Mt Rushmore area. There is no lake above Mr Rushmore and if the ancient Indian city of Gold, Cibolo, is anywhere around here it is still a secret. We did drive by the Crazy Horse Memorial but they wanted too much gold to make us want to go in; Ava snapped a picture from the front gate (attendant's suggestion) and I will add it to the next post.
