Yellowstone: 6 Spots Off the Beaten Path

While exploring the country, Yellowstone consistently topped the list of National Parks we wanted to visit.  The idea of seeing Old Faithful or the mesmerizing colors of Grand Prismatic Spring had us itching to make a trip out west.   But we’re not the only ones drawn to the first National Park.  With Read more…

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.

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.
