Great to see the carvings of the Presidents in a beautiful setting, with wonderful exhibits. It's also fun to go to the town of Keystone. Beat the crowd and see the carvings lit up at night - open til 11:30 PM ! Scenic drive there and back through the Black Hills National Forest. Other great places nearby - the Caves, and the in-progress Crazy Horse sculpture.
