Theodore Roosevelt National park especially the north sector........ In North Dakota.
Some cool geology I approve of this. Great area. Took in a Blackhawk (90s country) there in Medora amphitheater in the badlands. Loved it! Needles hiway cool little drive. I found the bison centre at Custer interesting but the wildlife loop laughable. Museum at Rushmore was good. If you’re from an area rich in water, the waterbodies in the black hills are underwhelming too. Loved the fur and antler stores in Custer. My wife sat in the car then though. Lol

If in the area, don't pass up Little Big Horn National Park. I came away thinking Custer and his bunch got what they deserved. Likewise. Great history and beautiful area.

Another great place. Threads like this should be more common.

If you weren't able to travel this year to Mt. Rushmore...consider the end of September 2025...shortly after the "hordes" of tourists, mosquitoes, and before the snow...The Nebraska Fur Harvesters Fall Convention will take place September 26 and 27, 2025, in Chadron, NE...two hours from Rushmore. In Chadron, you'll find a "trapper must see" venue in the Museum of the Fur Trade...two "bangs for one buck!"
Host Mark Ross is doing a dynamite job of preparing and has an excellent demo lineup, great dealers, and some stellar banquet prizes, etc.
Nebraskafurharvesters.com
Also, we are in the process of organizing a "Leadership Network Meeting," with the first speaker, Dan Gates...Colorado Trappers and Predator Callers Association...Dan and the "team" have made some remarkable political progress in Colorado ( en boca lupo---"into the outh of the wolf" the Italians say)
Its early, and updates will be posted as they are finalized.But the line-up so far makes it a "don't miss" event.

This 4th of July will be a spectacular one, I’d suggest going if you can. The prior idiot in charge has been blocking our states ritual of a splendid fireworks display at the Mt. Rushmore site the past 4 years out of spite. Now that the old folks home now has him back, it will be quite a display for sure. Not just to celebrate our nation but a big screw you to the previous p Rick’s.

Planing on heading to See Yellowstone starting out April 26. Going to Mt Rushmore first . Planning for 2 weeks could make it 3 if we drop down to the Grand Canyon but that's not likely trying to get away from the farm that long. So probably only the 2 stops and anything along the way.
So with limited time any must see and do things and places to stop? Weather and time of year considerations? Would be appreciated.
Time to take the kids to see things I have not got to see in this country yet. The big trees, waterfall, And Alaska are on the list as well but will have to be in the future and likely flying trips not driving.
Im waiting till they put Trumps face on Mt.Rushmore to visit. 
the wheels of the gods turn very slowly
