Iron Mountain Road in Custer State Park was even m Iron Mountain Road in Custer State Park was even more scenic than I imagined.  The spiral roads, lumber bridges, and tunnels that frame phenomenal views of Mount Rushmore make for such an enjoyable drive.  It was also super convenient that outside of each tunnel were parking spots.  Going shortly after sunrise we saw almost no other traffic on the road and had a chance to really slow down and enjoy the views.

When visiting Mount Rushmore National Memorial you When visiting Mount Rushmore National Memorial you should try the TJ ice cream!  This is the same recipe Thomas Jefferson originally brought to the US and made popular during his presidency.  It’s supposedly the first written ice cream recipe in the country, created in 1780.  I don’t really need an excuse to enjoy ice cream, but definitely couldn’t pass up historic ice cream!
