Mt Rushmore Night Ceremony and Tour - with Tunnels and Stargazing

About this activity

Experience Mount Rushmore and the Black Hills after dark on this immersive 4.5-hour evening expedition aboard our climate-controlled executive transit van.

Leave the parking hassles and winding dark roads to your professional local guide.

We begin with an unhurried visit to Mount Rushmore, exploring the Avenue of Flags and interpretive exhibits before settling into the amphitheater for the moving Evening Lighting Ceremony and military veteran tribute. There is time to shop or dine before the Ceremony.

As the monument illuminates and the ceremony ends, we board our comfortable high-roof van to traverse legendary Iron Mountain Road. Experience historic pigtail bridges and illuminated single-lane granite rock tunnels framing lighted monument vistas.

Next, step out beneath pristine dark mountain skies for guided high-altitude stargazing, constellation lore, and Milky Way viewing, complete with warm beverages.
