Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and Jewel Cave — All Within an Hour

The Black Hills punch well above their weight when it comes to national monuments. Mount Rushmore is 45 minutes from Black Hawk Creek — iconic for good reason and worth every minute of the drive. Just a few miles further, Crazy Horse Memorial is still being carved from the granite, a living monument decades in the making with a story as compelling as the sculpture itself. Below ground, Jewel Cave National Monument holds miles of calcite crystal-lined passages that most visitors never expect to find in South Dakota. Black Hawk Creek RV Park & Cabins sits at the center of it all, making it easy to check off one monument in the morning and another after lunch. Reserve your spot and come see them all.
