Mount Rushmore in April

We are planning to be at Mount Rushmore around April 12 for a few days. Have been told weather could be an issue. What is there to see at that time. It appears a lot of places don't open until the middle of May. We have a class c and will be towing our car. We will have a younger couple with a nine month old with us.

    Hi,

    I was there in the middle of summer, and it was nice weather. Weather.com can answer any questions about the next 10 days there.

    When leaving the monument, turn to the right and go about 1/4 mile. There is a small parking area, and a place to get a side shot of Washington.

    Also highway 16A has 4 tunnels that line up directly with the monument. Stop at tunnel #2 or 3, they are less crowded than the other two tunnels, and take time to get a picture.

    Have fun! There should be a lot of wildlife out there. During the fall, you will not see any deer or such things, as they know to hide during hunting season.

    Fred.
