Day......12

Today we want to do Needles Highway and Mount Rushmore..... We go to breakfast and it starts raining.... we check the radar, and it's just spotty clusters of rain.... So we put on the rain gear and head out.... We came all this way a little rain is not going to stop us!!!!!

So we head out on route 44  to 385 to Hill City...













Then we go to Needles Highway.... Wow.... Amazing..... Awesome.... Spectacular.

 The roads are hairpin and very curvy.....   

Needles Highway was awesome.....  we came out of that and went into Custer State Park Wildlife loop...


first we saw just a couple of Buffalo..... then we came around a corner and there they were a whole heard crossing the street....

We drive though the herd of Buffalo, and then head onto 16A and head toward Mount Rushmore.. That road was crazy.... pigtail roads..... I wanted to go back the way we came, but, it was getting late.... and too much wild life would be around.. So it will just be imprinted upon my memory.....

Mount Rushmore
