Mt Rushmore
Mt. Rushmore: The NPS website states that Pets can be left in the car but you must ask for the "shaded" parking area. Has anyone done this? Is it really shaded enough to leave your dog in the car this...

I found it too bad they farmed out the parking etc to a private company - still think it should remain a govt run park!
Vehicle parking issues led to construction of the multi level parkade funded by a non profit organization. free parking was still available nearby on NPS lots through out the '90s and early '00s. Security concerns, vis a vis, terrorisim, destruction of that shrine after 9/11 prompted security to close free parking areas or demand utmost security?
After the World Trade Center towers in NY, DC's Pentagon or Capitol what other target in the US would anarchists target?
So you pay to park up close in a facility that is designed to protect the monument or park in town and walk up or use the trolley service.
Its our new world order.
