This year's annual trip to Colorado was a little different. We're so used to driving 169 south to Nebraska but we've driven it so many times that we decided to drive through South Dakota and Wyoming instead.
We enjoyed a very, very brief stop at Mount Rushmore on our way to Rapid City for the night.
It's sort of a bucket list item and also not. Historically speaking, Mount Rushmore is a pretty big deal but modern times... we forget the history of America. The people who built this needed money and were hired to construct it... and also died. I found the environment and where it's located and the views to be incredible, it was so pretty to drive to and drive through. I would actually go back to stay to see more of the land and national park around it.
Also to note: you do not have to enter the park to see Mount Rushmore. There's a little pull off area on the highway.
