We have a trip planned for Mt. Rushmore the 2 weeks around July 4 this year. We've already made reservations for the entire journey. We're traveling from Central Indiana.
Our route will take us North of Indianapolis where we will catch Interstate 74. In Illinois we'll catch Intersate 39 at Bloomington. We'll be right through the Rockford, IL area on I39 and hit I90 in Wisconsin and then just keep going West. We are making the drive over 4 days, 4 days to come back, and 6 days in the Mt. Rushmore area, so we can do lots of site seeing in that area, including Sturges.
That's our route. You're welcome to follow. According to maps, we couldn't find a more direct way there, unless we took secondary roads. But in this case, we have destinations each night, so we're pushing a little this time. But still have time to site see each area we'll be at for a few hours.
