THE AMERICAN WEST
7. CRAZY HORSE TO MOUNT RUSHMORE Travel into the Black Hills of South Dakota for lunch and a visit to the Crazy Horse Memorial, first begun in 1948 by Polish-American sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski (a protégé of Gutzon Borglum) and carried on today by his family. The monument to the legendary Sioux warrior emerging from Thunder Mountain was commissioned by a Lakota chief to extol a hero of the Sioux people. The project has been controversial from the start, and after decades it is still a work in progress, but upon completion, it will be the largest stone carving in the world; you can view a model of the statue at the visitors centre, which includes a museum dedicated to American Indian history and cultures of the Plains tribes. Continue on to Mount Rushmore National Memorial. You’ll always remember your first glimpse of the faces of former presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln carved out of the Black Hills granite; larger than life and monumentally impressive, they’re the crowning achievement of sculptor Gutzon Borglum, sculpted between 1927 and 1941, with the help of 400 workers. Continue on to Rapid City for an overnight stay; enjoy a farewell reception and dinner at your hotel. Meals BLD
