Cathedral Spires across the valley from Needles Scenic Highway in Custer State Park.
Amazing rock formations all along this very narrow highway.
We passed through 3 tunnels; this is the smallest - 8' 4" wide and 12' tall. I told Scott to wait for me and I'd jump in the truck after my photo - ended up walking through the entire tunnel. Why? Too narrow to open the door!
When we got to the other side we got out to see the panoramic view and watched as a tour bus inched it's way through the needles eye.
Facts about George; his face is 60 feet tall, each eye is 11 feet wide, his nose is 21 feet long (all the other noses are only 20 feet!), and Washington's mouth is 18 feet wide.
Added the state of Maine today.
Mrs. Van Nice we miss you! We are so excited you are keeping this travel blog and we can follow you on your journey. We all wish we were traveling with you. Did you see more of Mount Rushmore today? Where is your camp trailer? We hope it didn't get stuck in one of the tunnels. We hope you have a safe trip and will be following your every move. Drive Safely. We miss you so, so much. :)
