Description:

Discover the iconic Mount Rushmore, one of the nation’s must-see monuments. Fly to South Dakota to explore the imposing and massive sculpture depicting 4 of the greatest presidents of the United States.

Check in at the Ogden-Hinckley Airport (OGD) and board a comfortable flight to Rapid City, South Dakota. After a short 2-hour flight, embark on a memorable tour of historic Mount Rushmore, nestled in the lush green Black Hills. Learn the behind-the-scenes story of why the colossal monument, carved in 1941, honors Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln.

Learn about the innovative sculptor Gutzon Borglum, who initiated the ambitious project that eventually resulted in a majestic national memorial. Get even closer to the monument with the 422-stair Presidential Trail, ending nearly at the base of Mount Rushmore.

Once back at the Visitor Center, check out the captivating exhibits and a short film to learn the specifics of the labor-intensive carving process that involved a lot of meticulous planning—and dynamite. Before returning to Utah, conclude the unforgettable 4-hour tour with a visit the Sculptor's Studio, featuring the monument's scale model (open May to September).
