Mt. Rushmore - 44 years of change

In the year 1967 our family took a trip to Mount Rushmore in the South Dakota Black Hills.

In the year 2010, we were privileged to take our two youngest granddaughters to see the same sight.

The only changes I see are a few additional trees. But the build-up of tourist activities is HUGE!

I would even say - overwhelming!


This is where they "herd" the tourists along the way to the viewing station.

 A buffalo - just in case any tourist misses the live ones down the road.

Above, is a huge picture of one of the presidential noses. There is a large gallery showing the history of Mt. Rushmore.

This is a depiction of buffalo hide drawings on the wall of a saloon.
