Day 3: Thursday, July 10, 2025 – Rapid City – Custer State Park – Crazy Horse – Mt. Rushmore – Travel to Custer State Park and search for a herd of over 1,000 roaming bison.  Your guide will fill you in on the park’s wildlife history and facts.  Next, prepare to be amazed by the Crazy Horse Memorial, the world’s largest mountain sculpture still in progress.  The memorial includes the Indian Museum of North America, Native American Cultural Center, the sculptor’s studio, an orientation center and theaters.  Many Native American artists and craftspeople practice their art at the memorial and are on hand to discuss the influence their culture has on their work.  Later, see Mount Rushmore, one of the country’s most famous landmarks.

Day 4: Friday, July 11, 2025 – Rapid City – Deadwood – Buffalo, Wyoming – Stop in Deadwood, a rambling Western town and a National Historic Landmark.  Recreations of turn-of-the-century streetlamps light the way through the restored architecture.  A local guide introduces you to the history of the city, where gold, gambling and gunpowder were once the order of the day.  Visit Mount Moriah Cemetery, final resting place of Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, and other figures from the Wild West.  Continue to Kevin Costner’s Tatanka: “Story of the Bison.”  This interpretive center features large, awe-inspiring sculptures depicting the relationship of bison and the
