Seeing the Crazy Horse Memorial, it’s hard to im Seeing the Crazy Horse Memorial, it’s hard to imagine the carving of this massive sculpture started with a single man.  For the first seven years of the project, Korczak Ziolkowski would climb hundreds of steps each day carving into the mountain with a single jackhammer powered by a faulty gas compressor.  Many times after making the climb, the old compressor would give out and he’d have to start the descent back down the mountain.  His dream to memorialize the Native American history and culture kept him moving forward though through these difficulties. 
While the project still has a ways to go before completion, it’s said to still be on schedule from Ziolkowski’s original 100 year estimate.  I would love to see it again once done.

Badlands is known for its other worldly appearance Badlands is known for its other worldly appearance.  Aside from the beautiful red, white, and pink striated rocks that are so prominent in the park there are also these striking Yellow Mounds.  Found slightly south of the Pinnacles entrance, these golden hills are easy to access from the “Yellow Mounds Overlook” parking lot.  I could not believe that no one else was in the area when we visited!  This was one of the sights I was most looking forward to at the park and it did not disappoint.
