Itinerary

  • Fort Hays Old West Town and Dinner Show

    The tour package starts at Fort Hays Chuckwagon where you get your all you can eat cowboy breakfast. Nothing better than home made cowboy pancakes, biscuits and gravy, sausage links with a hot cup of coffee to get the day started.

    1 hour

  • Mount Rushmore National Memorial

    The bus departs at 9am and heads for Mount Rushmore! You will have a little over an hour to look around at your own convenience and enjoy the sites and beauty that you came to South Dakota for. We stop here first because Mount Rushmore is at it's best in the morning sun. Gutzon Borglum carved this mountain facing east towards the morning sun and intended it to be viewed this way.

    1 hour

  • Iron Mountain Road

    After leaving Mount Rushmore we will travel along the Iron Mountain Road. A beautiful 17 mile road of breath taking scenery featuring 3 one lane tunnels that perfectly frame Mount Rushmore.

    1 hour

  • Custer State Park Resort

    We stop for lunch inside Custer State Park at the Game Lodge and previous summer White House for president Calvin Coolidge. Try the Buffalo Stew, it's the best you will ever find!

    1 hour

  • South Dakota 87

    After lunch we depart for the Needles Hwy. This 14 mile scenic drive is sure to leave you breathless and awe struck at amazing beauty of the Black Hills. Sit back and enjoy the ride and watch the crowd gather around when we drive the bus through the Needles Eye Tunnel. With only inches to spare on each side of the bus you can relish in the fact that you are not the one driving.

    1 hour

  • Sylvan Lake

    Take a rest stop and coffee break at the beautiful Sylvan Lake. This is among the crown jewels of Custer State Park and the beauty within it.

    20 minutes

  • Crazy Horse Memorial

    We spend about an hour at Crazy Horse Memorial. You are on your own to spend this time enjoying this piece of history in the making. Upon completion it will be the largest mountain carving in the world! Truly a piece of awe inspiring history being worked on every day.

    1 hour

  • Fort Hays Old West Town and Dinner Show

    The tour package ends back at Fort Hays to include the Chuckwagon Supper and Live Music Show. This chuckwagon meal is sure to leave you with a full belly. The show is a Branson style variety show to include music for all ages to enjoy. Rate the best family entertainment in the Black Hills.

Excellent Staff & Customer Service

Published on Nov, 2024

Just wanted to take time to recognize excellent management and employee staff. After a small issue with a room, they went above and beyond for my family. The attention to detail and quality service by Dennis - MOD, Steve - FD Supervisor, and Tim - FD is phenomenal. I would highly recommend staying here for your next trip in Rapid City!

Excellent Day I would re-live in a SECOND!

Published on Oct, 2024

Breakfast was excellent, especially when considering it was in a tin pie-pan. Stick to your ribs biscuit and gravy, sausage, cowboy pancakes made by strapping young men and coffee. Time to roam around the little town-front. Chuck loaded us in and maneuvered the HUGE tour-bus like a PRO. He gave a commentary the whole way except on the return leg (which was perfect, we needed some rest). We saw the wooden bridges engineered to be as strong as steel, toured the Black Hills, twisted our way up/down pig-tail bridges, appreciated the design of the roads including the tunnels that highlight Mt. Rushmore, visited the landmark with time to sketch/appreciate/hike, saw wildlife along the way, lunch at the lodge with time to hit a festival (the Buffalo Roundup was the day before), visited Crazy Horse with time to explore it, breeze through Hill City and made our way back in the perfect timing for the music show and chuckwagon dinner theater. >>>Chuck stopped at PERFECT locations for snap shots and played photographer. (Profile view of Washington, tunnel, needles in the background)<<

Loved it

Published on Oct, 2024

Great time, very knowledgeable driver who was very entertaining as well. Food was great, loved the whole experience. Very efficient outfit. Bus was clean and comfortable.

Excellent tour!

Tour Date: 9/22/24 I recommend this tour if it's your first time visiting the Black Hills and Mount Rushmore. We had enough time to go around each stops to sightsee. Dan, the guide was funny, knowledgeable and stopped at the places where we can't miss any photo ops. The other sites included in the tour are Fort Hays (for the cowboy breakfast- pancakes were great; chuckwagon dinner and the Dances with Wolves film set- it's free!); Custer State Park (I wished we saw more bison though) for lunch; Sylvan Lake- it's beautiful and the narrow tunnels including the Needle Eye tunnel where we wondered if our bus would fit- it did! The chuckwagon dinner was just okay but the entertainment and hospitality more than made up for it. Dan and the band were excellent singers and entertainers! Highly-recommended!

A great experience!

Joe was a great driver and tour guide with lots of good stories. Sceneries were breathtaking, especially the two memorials exhibited the human spirit. The chuck wagon food was okay, could be better! But it was a good experience of the old days. The show after dinner was very good, the musicians were excellent, especially the lady. It was a memorial experience!
