We will be in Black Hills in September so I did research re: Mt. Rushmore. Admission is free for everyone, BUT parking is $11, paid to the park concessionaire that runs the parking lot. I was a Park Ranger there in 1977 and I recall that there was a strong concessionaire presence even then, although parking was free at that time. Apparently the concession business has powerful lobbyists in D.C. as well.
