Don’t Just Believe Me

“Having seen it in pictures so many times it was hard to believe we were actually standing here! We found it very easy and well laid out in terms of parking and the visitor centre etc. We also met the last surviving worker who helped to make Mount Rushmore, who has written a book about the experience that was on sale in the gift shop. He was there signing copies and chatting to people when we visited which was really cool.”

Don’t Just Believe Me

“My parents took us here for the first time in 1968. Forty-four years later, I was back and bringing my partner here for his first visit. The change and improvements to this site have been amazing. The park is absolutely beautiful and impressive. Staring at the four presidents made my throat tight with emotion as a bead of a tear formed in one eye. With so many negative things going on these days, here was a symbol of my country that I can look at with pride. I also stopped one of the NPS rangers to thank them for the work that they do. People, the NPS is a huge blessing and priceless asset this country has. Please take advantage of it whenever you can. There were ample walkways, an area with all the state flags, an amphitheater, gift shop, clean and spacious restrooms, plenty of parking and the pine hills surrounding the park are absolutely gorgeous. The weather was perfect which really helps. Bottom line... Stunning...Wonderful...Beautiful.”
