Go South on 87 and follow my route OR continue on HWY16 towards Crazy Horse.
Once done with Rushmore, continue west on 244 and be on the look out for the intersection of 244 and 87 South. If you look up at this point you’ll see Mount Rushmore in the distance :-) (point B) Follow the signs into the park if you’d like or do a drive by and stop in the designated pull outs. You’ll continue on that route for a total of about 18 miles and then go south on Route 16A until you connect with SD 244 West.
There will be a LOT of signs for this :-). When you leave Rapid City (H and A on the map below) you’ll want to head South on Highway 16 towards Mount Rushmore. This Road Trip Planner assumes that you will already be in the Rapid City, SD area and begins from there. This planner only covers one of several great drives in the area, but for us it was the best way to see the key points we were interested in. On top of all the large tourist attractions, there are many smaller, locally owned, businesses in the area to keep you and your family entertained. It’s centrally located, has a lot of hotels (including some dog-friendly ones), and is relatively affordable. Rapid City is the largest city in South Dakota, and an excellent choice for a place to stay for a tour through the area.
