Join us on this action packed, fun filled & historical adventure to the Wild West featuring 6 Nights at one hotel in Rapid City, South Dakota. The highlights are numerous starting with the incredible Mount Rushmore National Memorial which is centered around a sculpture carved into the granite face of Mount Rushmore in the Black Hills in Keystone, SD. Mount Rushmore was selected because it has the advantage of facing southeast for maximum sun exposure. Here see the awesome sculptures of Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt and Lincoln. Then visit Crazy Horse Memorial, still in progress, a giant mountainside sculpture of the famous Indian Chief astride his pony. Custer State Park is famous as a wildlife preserve featuring a herd of 1,500 free roaming buffalo where you will experience a thrilling Buffalo Jeep Safari in search of some of the herd.
Visit Devil’s Tower National Monument in Wyoming and historic Deadwood, SD, the 1876 rough and tumble gold camp & gambling town where Wild West legends were made like Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane.
