Epic Ride: Iron Mountain Road from Custer State Park to Mount Rushmore

[@rvamericayall]

Hello from the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota!! We hope you enjoy this drive along Iron Mountain Road. We love this drive so much that we decided to bump this video up ahead of our other #BeyondTX videos. This is a MUST-DO when you're in the area, so be sure to bring a small enough vehicle to fit through the tunnels! :)

[@JoeDaniels1]

I went through there back in the 70's with my brother in My Cj5. Brings back some great memories.

[@rvamericayall]

Jeeps are great for the roads here. 😁

[@ceejay6203]

Woohoo! So appreciate the wonderful preview ride. We’ll be on that road in just 4 weeks, following in your tire tracks (but on our bikes!) You all sure had a beautiful day and best of all, did it together! Thanks for sharing your adventure. Safe travels!

[@rvamericayall]

Y’all will love it Cee Jay!!! So much to see!

[@sasquatch885]

The camera on the roof rack worked great!

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks!

[@tammymcdowell9469]

OMG! That's all I can say. BEAUTIFUL drive! I for sure want to do this one day! Thanks for taking us!

[@rvamericayall]

Y’all will love it, Tammy!

[@marilynmulkey6095]

What a ride!

[@rvamericayall]

Yes it is!

[@leann4925]

Oh I just loved it when you went through the tunnels as they are fun to go through. Amazing drive and from what I saw no you don't want to have a big vehicle. Thank you so much as enjoyed the views. Hi Mom and Love y'all.

[@rvamericayall]

Hi Leann! These roads are so scenic!! This is a great place to explore.

[@gailrobinson7125]

Boy, Mount Rushmore is really lots more built up than when we were last there! I’m glad I got to visit when there were fewer visitors. Great monument to see, even if it’s crowded now. Really enjoyed the drive you shared with us. Mount Rushmore always reminds me of the Cary Grant movie, “North by Northwest”. There’s a scene in the movie where they are up on the faces. Good movie! Thanks for sharing your trip. 😃

[@rvamericayall]

Hey Gail! They are doing a lot of work on the Mount Rushmore grounds right now. Some of what is normally accessible currently isn’t. So there’s no way for the crowds to stretch out. There was actually a mention of North by Northwest in the park. 😁

[@normangebhardt2092]

Enjoyed seeing this area again. Definitely looking forward to watching your next videos of the black hills.

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks Norman! This area is beautiful!

[@annamaybeekman5152]

What a beautiful drive and trip.I will go there someday

[@rvamericayall]

Absolutely!

[@vickibarringer513]

So glad you are enjoying your time outside of TX. We really enjoyed it when we went in 1992 in our RV and took the kids.

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks Vicki! We’re having a ball!

[@thompsonstravels615]

Great video Tom and Stacey!! We were at South Dakota about 10 yrs ago! We loved it. Thanks!😊

[@rvamericayall]

This is our first time here, but it won’t be our last!

[@Colleen1978]

We were our that way 2 years ago. Did the Badlands, Mount Rushmore, the scenic byway, Custer Park, all the way to Cody WY and Yellowstone. Beautiful trip! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@rvamericayall]

Sounds like an amazing trip Colleen!

[@paul-bo5dm]

Wow one times the size is wow what a view thank you for showing us her journeys a lot of people get to see things through your channel that nobody that a lot of people should say that a lot of people will never see including myself well am I to see some others who save it thank you for sharing

[@rvamericayall]

Glad you enjoyed it Paul! Thanks for riding along with us!

[@n1uno1965]

The roads remind me of northern central Arkansas near my momma’s house, awesome hairpin curve. Thank you for sharing!

[@rvamericayall]

Arkansas has some beautiful drives!

[@CCaudits]

Awesome, scenery.

[@rvamericayall]

It is amazing, Ty!

[@rvamericayall]

How fun Joanne!

[@christyd2896]

That was fun! Great camera work. You are right, the beauty is overwhelming. The sneak peeks of Mount Rushmore through the tunnels is genius. Looking forward to more. Hi to Grammy K! 🙂

[@rvamericayall]

Glad you enjoyed it Bob! There are some amazing drives around here.

[@marilynpolzin8361]

We’re planning on going there this late summer early fall. It is on our bucket list. This was so helpful. Thanks so much. Look forward to the rest of your videos on the area.

[@rvamericayall]

It's a great area Marilyn! So much to see and do. In case you haven't seen them, here is our playlist of our videos from amazing South Dakota: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZuteH1rrM2mZ7M

GOOD JOB, THANKS FOR THE RIDE ALONG. WISH THAT WAS CLOSER TO DALLAS!!

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks JW!

[@bobcausey]

Looks like a nice trip in the Jeep.

[@rvamericayall]

It was awesome Bob!

[@timinsandiego6979]

What a great drive. When I was a kid, driving cross country and moving from Upstate NY to California, I stopped at Mt. Rushmore. I had no idea about the real beauty of the surrounding area. Now that you posted this, I'll be sure to go back for a closer look. AND... I'm thinking South Dakota might make a good choice for a domicile and a tiny house as home base. Happy travels!

[@rvamericayall]

Hey Tim! The Black Hills are amazing! Definitely plan to come back and spend some time. And a tiny house here would be awesome! (At least this time of year.) 😁

[@timinsandiego6979]

@@rvamericayall, Tom, I have a question... what is the width of your widest bay in the underbelly of your rig? I have an item that's 4 feet wide that I'd like to carry. Will that be possible and do many Class A's have bays that wide or wider?

[@donnasapp3465]

You need to be there the last week of September for the Buffalo Roundup totally awesome to see at Custer State Park ❤️

[@rvamericayall]

We definitely want to see that!

[@elidabritos7968]

Congratulations,very nice video. And God bless you.

[@rvamericayall]

Thank you.

[@jslhopper]

Great video! I was there at mt Rushmore with my parents in late May. We parked our mh at Cabellos which had rv hook up in Sydney NE. And took my honda civic to mt Rushmore. 230mi one way round trip 460mi. Well worth it to see the monument!👍

[@rvamericayall]

Wow! That’s a heck of a day trip! The monument is amazing.

[@craftylady2556]

Thank you so much! Another addition to my bucket list! The scenery was absolutely gorgeous. I am so enjoying Grammy K and her comments. She is delightful!🥰👍👏 Thanks again.

[@rvamericayall]

So happy you enjoyed it! We are loving this area!

[@judyabernathy80]

I so enjoyed seeing this area again. I intend to go back sometime. And, surely to see Sturgis. I have friends who go there every year for the madness and fun!!

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks Judy! There is so much to see here.

[@barbaraorthman5824]

Breathtaking! We WILL be on that road - maybe next year... can't wait - but you guys make waiting a bit more bearable...but then....NOT

[@rvamericayall]

Y’all will love it Barb! This area is amazing!

[@markperritte]

Great video wish I could make that trip myself. I want to take my bike there and see the roads

[@rvamericayall]

You definitely need to plan a trip up this way Mark! This is a great place to ride!

[@VernonWallace]

Boy there were a lot of motorcycles.

[@rvamericayall]

Yes there are!

[@DARNGOODADVICE]

Thank you for an amazing tour ! I have been there several times, never disappointed. Trying to catch up on your video's, I fell behind working on a RV base camp for my Motorhome. Take care Be safe. Love seeing mom on the road, your building the greatest memories of a lifetime. Peace guys. Don

[@rvamericayall]

Hey Don! We agree... this area is amazing. How’s the base camp coming along? Don’t work too hard! 😁

[@gmaneis]

Whoa! At 5:20 you said the largest tunnel is only 12 inches wide. I guess you have to be really skinny to slither through it! This is a great video, like all your others. Thanks for posting,.

[@rvamericayall]

LOL!! That would be tight! 😂

[@mystery4681]

Thank you for the incredible drive to Mt. Rushmore!..Always wanted to see it..Maybe someday I'll get to take that amazing trip!

[@rvamericayall]

You’re welcome! We’ll have more videos on the Black Hills and Mount Rushmore coming up in the future. There is so much to see in this area!

Hey y'all did you buy you some black hills gold... I was there in the 70's and bought me some... But it was cheap back then! Tell mom I said Hey! Great video... It certainly has changed since the 70's!💜💜💜💜💜💖💖💖👍👍👍👍

Hey Cheril! We did visit a gold mine. 😁

[@doncanaday6406]

Thanks so much. We’re going in that direction next Spring and your videos will give us a heads up. Didn’t know about the Iron Mountain Scenic Byway.

[@rvamericayall]

Awesome Don! There are tons of fun drives and things to do around here!

[@BrianSnyderPhotography]

It was fun riding along with you. Do you think a dually pickup truck would go through the tunnels?

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks Brian! The 2 smallest tunnels on this road were 10’9” wide x 11’ high 11’6” wide x 10’9” high

[@roydavis2242]

I was taught to stop and blow your horn before crossing one lane bridges and tunnels. You'd have thought there would be traffic control lights at them, especially since they' have blind entrance on a couple.

[@rvamericayall]

That’s a good tip Roy!

[@donnasapp3465]

Sure hope you took in Crazy Horse it⭐️we spent a month there in 2008 where we got married on horseback in Custer State park❤️

[@rvamericayall]

That’s awesome Donna! You’ll see Crazy Horse in a future video.

[@RedJaguar100Travels]

Awesome review but I have to say, Wow.. Only 11 inches high.. i could fit if I was walking.. LOL.. just teasing

[@rvamericayall]

LOL! We didn’t catch that! That is small! 😂

Thanks Ronald! We’re sticking with what we have for now. But maybe someday we’ll look into a cycle. Looks fun!

[@rogerkern]

12 inches wide? Lol we know 12. Feet. But caught it lol

LOL! Didn’t even realize we said that! Good catch Roger! 😂
