Be sure to search this Forum for `Mt. Rushmore' or just `Rushmore' to reinforce your desire to see this monument.
That trip violates my rule that you have to stay somewhere longer than it takes to get there and back.
Dick B I feel your pain. Although I'm not sure I agree with you.
The travel is part of the trip/fun/journey.
I do agree that the end destination should be worth the effort it takes to make the drive.
Rushmore is a unique one of a kind destination that that many have to drive a long way to get to. There are countless places that require a long drive. Grand Canyon, Orlando, and Washington D.C just to name a few.
I try not to determine my destination by the length of the rainbow/drive. But I try to let that pot of gold at the end of the drive determine the destination.
@Navysmoker I am envious of you because I want to do Rushmore but I can't take that much time.
As you can see I am from MD as well. I can't manage to get away quite that long. Your time frame and routes seems reasonable despite violating the Dick_B rule:W.
Dick B and I will be stuck home looking at are calendars wishing we had a better schedule.:
Actually we hope we will be out in a CG somewhere!....closer to home LOL
I do agree with Dick in that the journey should be worth the drive. In your case it certainly is . Carry on and have a great time.I hope you enjoy yourself
