Review of National Park Service - Mount ...

I have been trying to come back out here for years...

I have been trying to come back out here for years so I went on a road trip to see it in the winter. The place was practically empty. I felt I had it all to myself. The trails were closed because its winter time and there is a major construction project going on. The cafe was a great place to grab lunch and a hot chocolate. The bison stew was delicious. Inside the cafe they also have a fireplace with a large TV showing a movie about the history of MT Rushmore. It was very interesting and a nice ambiance. Parking was $10 and very convenient to pay when you come into the parl or leaving at the little kiosks. There are also a lot of cool things to see on your way to the park. There was a frozen lake that you could fish in. I stopped here to take some pictures and therr was only one other couple in the parking area.

Would definitely visit often if I lived in the area.
