Walking Tour Details
Mount Rushmore, the towering sculpture honoring four of America's greatest presidents, is visible from nearly everywhere at Mount Rushmore National Monument. Park visitors can experience the monument from strategically placed viewpoints or while walking the Presidential Trail, which takes you to the very foot of the mountainside sculpture. Museums and exhibits explain the vision of sculptor Gutzon Borglum in creating the monument, the work it took to carve the massive sculpture, and Mount Rushmore's place in the Black Hills of South Dakota, which are sacred to local Native American tribes.
