Bear Country USA
Mount Rushmore
Crazy Horse
Flintstone's Theme Park, Custer, S.D.
 
We were very excited to make it to this part of the trip!  Every time we'd see a mountain, the kids would scream, "I see the Presidents' Mountain!"  And, finding the little Flintstone's Theme Park was an unexpected but truly loved surprise!  What a treat!
