How to See Crazy Horse Memorial & Mount Rushmore National Monument in One Day!

[@BorenintheUSA]

These are our list! Thanks for the info, our kids would benefit greatly from this road school itinerary 😀 also, I thought the diorama from the museum was drone footage at first 🤣🤣🤣 great panning!

[@HintonTheTrail]

Ok, I know my panning sucks, apparently I shake like crazy. So if I got one part of the video somewhat smooth that is a HUGE win for me!! (this is Chris by the way). These are both excellent places to take kids. The van tour at Crazy Horse was really good. The gentlemen driving talked about his heritage and his tribe. It was really cool. We love learning about history and other cultures. -Chris & Suzannah

Loved this video!! Thanks so much for sharing!!! 😊

[@HintonTheTrail]

Thank you!!!

[@HintonTheTrail]

Most people know about Mount Rushmore and it's a must see...but how many people know about the Crazy Horse Memorial? Do you know about it or have you been?

[@shellye.1341]

I never even knew about the Crazy Horse memorial. It's so strange because I am 47 years old. I was asking around, no one had ever heard anything about it. We live in North Carolina but it's still so strange.

[@HintonTheTrail]

@@shellye.1341 You're not alone, many people have never heard of it and it's a shame. I (Chris) was 21 when I first went and hadn't heard of it either. Just happened to be visiting friends in the area and they took me. The story of the location and what it represents has stuck with me ever since. I hope you get to make it one day.

Very nice

[@HintonTheTrail]

Thank you!

[@BugsOnTheWindshield]

Great video! We hope to make it back out there in 2022. We love that area.

[@HintonTheTrail]

Thank you! It is a beautiful area, we’d love to go back during the spring or early summer.

[@CraigNiesenPhotography]

Excellent video with loads of information. Shelley and I about ten years ago. We did not have to walk the trail of Presidents. And the Crazy Horse monument was not anywhere near as complete as it is now. It’s incredible how long it’s going to take. Thank you guys for sharing. Peace and Safe Travels.

[@HintonTheTrail]

Rushmore has an audio tour and a museum that we couldn’t do because of Covid. Did you go to the museum while there? Yes, the Crazy Horse carving is a multigenerational undertaking. Klee told our son that we won’t be around to see it completed but we want him to go and take his children. It’s an important part of history. Thanks again for watching and commenting. -Chris & Suzannah

[@TravelingOn]

This is on my bucket list. Great video. I saw you on McGuires live stream. Your new friend!!

[@HintonTheTrail]

Thank you so much! We have a long list of new channels to watch! We’ll check yours out this week!! -Chris & Suzannah

[@TravelingOn]

@@HintonTheTrail Thank you!! I really enjoyed your video to Crazy Horse! I plan to visit soon.

[@famleelife7533]

💜💜💜 Fantastic video...great information. I feel like I visited with you. 🇨🇦

[@HintonTheTrail]

Thank you so much!! We still trying to figure out the art of combining story telling with travel info so it's great to hear that you enjoyed it! -Chris & Suzannah

[@TakeATripTogether]

Bucket list trip for sure ☺️

[@HintonTheTrail]

There are so many in the Dakotas and many people don’t make it up there. If you do go make sure you venture further to North Dakota as well. The Teddy Roosevelt NPS is beautiful and the Medora Musical is so cool!!!

[@TakeATripTogether]

@@HintonTheTrail We've been learning a lot about the Dakota's lately. We're hoping to spend a good amount of time there someday.

[@HintonTheTrail]

@@TakeATripTogether Spring or Fall, that's when they're probably the prettiest. Good luck with your planning!

[@RoadVenturesUSA]

Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse were our absolute favorite parts of the Black Hills. Crazy Horse was very moving and sparked a lot of curiosity with us. You guys nailed this video! So informative and gorgeous footage. Also....Suzannah is SO full knowledge. 😉Very impressive.

[@HintonTheTrail]

Suzannah is wise beyond her years, a veritable cornucopia of knowledge...and very good at reading informational signs. 😂😂. Thank you both again for the support.

[@ktkamping4975]

We love this. We went there a few years ago and had a blast. This brings back a lot of memories. We went to both when we were there. Thanks so much for sharing this great info. KTKamping Kent and Tami

[@HintonTheTrail]

Kent & Tami, thank you for hopping on and following our adventures. Did you notice a change in Crazy Horse or was it about the same? -Chris & Suzannah

[@ktkamping4975]

@@HintonTheTrailHi Chris and Suzannah. It was a little different. You could tell they had removed more rock down below the face.

[@CGray-gw4ll]

I have been to both and my life changed at both

[@HintonTheTrail]

Thank you for sharing!

[@sheiladaniels9552]

I have been to both and I definitely would go see Crazy Horse again and skip Mt. Rushmore.

[@HintonTheTrail]

There's something about Crazy Horse that really grabs you. It is MASSIVE and the fact that every time you go back it's changed is so cool.

[@hagenjen]

I forgot Crazy Horse was doing bus tours so you can get closer. Best time in my opinion is to go early June and do the Volksmarch where you can walk up the backside & stand on his arm!

[@HintonTheTrail]

They have one that costs about $125 and it takes you up to where they’re carving. That would be so awesome...but expensive. I think the one you described sounds so much better though! Thanks for the info.

[@sheiladaniels9552]

@@HintonTheTrail Expensive, but worth every penny!

[@HintonTheTrail]

@@sheiladaniels9552 We would love to go back and do it. It looks so amazing.

[@94520shatto]

They are within spitting distance. (For photos, see Rushmore in the morning. If you are a Veteran, please stay for the Flag Ceremony at day's end. You'll be forever thankful.) Take the day and learn stuff.

[@HintonTheTrail]

Thank you for sharing!

[@ItsAboutTimeNow]

Awesome!! Well done video!! We went here also; great video guys... you may like seeing our video of our visit too. We like getting to places early too, although it doesn't always work that way. LOL We enjoyed watching your visit. ~ Brad and Diana

[@HintonTheTrail]

Thank you. Sound like we got up a lot of the same places. We’re going to hop on and check out some videos tonight! Looking forward to seeing your take on these places. -Chris & Suzannah

[@maryrnbsn5114]

I also heard buffalo in vast numbers roamed. From a distance the hills they're on make the hills look black.

[@HintonTheTrail]

We hadn’t heard that explanation but back when millions of bison roamed the area I guess it could make them look black.

[@maryrnbsn5114]

Can you see Crazy horse in the distance when in At Mount Rushmore?

[@HintonTheTrail]

No, it’s actually a good distance away. About 40 minutes.

Sorry, not sure what the translation to English is. Closest we could find is the grazing horse statue. Is that correct?

[@mikekinsella2822]

Crazy horse is the slowest project to have ever been started. It should be at least close to finished by now.

[@HintonTheTrail]

It is slow but we understand why.

[@mikekinsella2822]

@@HintonTheTrail some would say its slow cause there is a skim of the donations that go elsewhere other then to make progress. if you compare the pics from 20 years ago to now not much diffrence.
