Not for your dog!

Mount Rushmore has been remodeled. Pets cannot go beyond the entrance to the memorial. Instead, you and your pet must follow yellow dog prints down a short path to a very poor ‘ after the side / through the trees’ view of the sculpture. In addition to this, the parking is confusing and the parking payment system doesn’t work well. The sculpture is beautiful, the government control of the site is poor at best. We would suggest leaving your dog at home or skipping this now ‘over commercialized’ site altogether.
