We’re back in the saddle and excited to be explo We’re back in the saddle and excited to be exploring again!  Mount Rushmore and the surrounding areas of South Dakota have been on our list for awhile now.  It’s great to finally experience them.  When looking for a unique family friendly adventure check out the stables at the Palmer Gulch KOA resort.

Palmer Gulch offers three different trail rides through the Norbeck Wildlife Preserve.  It’s a fun way to see this beautiful part of the Black Hills National Forest/Custer State Park.  And the staff is great at teaching the basics of horse riding to beginners and kids. 📸: @howeyeseeitphotography

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.
