X2 on Black Hills. In addition to Rushmore you can get to Crazy Horse monument. We got lucky several years ago and saw them blast part of the mountain since it was still under construction. Custer state park has a great wildlife driving loop. Wind Cave and Jewel Cave parks are also close. About an hour south is Hot Springs is Mammoth Hot Springs fossil site. About an hour east is the Badlands National park and famous Wall Drug in Wall SD.
I'm sure I forgot many other great things in the area, but it is a great region.
If you or any other members get out there soon check the little garden area beside the forest service office in downtown Custer to see if the plaque for Marge Parker is still there. She was a forest service volunteer, a wonderful character, and my grandmother.
