Private Safari Tour This is the one Black Hills guided tour you will want someone else to drive. The switchback roads are narrow with one-way tunnels, pigtail bridges and single lane roads. While driving this is not dangerous, you will need to concentrate on driving, and then youd miss out on seeing the most iconic sights in the Hills. • Free pickup at Rapid City and Keystone Hotels and depart for your safari at 9am • Tour Mount Rushmore Monument and Crazy Horse Memorial for one hour each and then the top opens. The adventure begins. • Drive Iron Mountain Road (4 pigtails bridges-2 divided roads-3 one-way tunnels). When we stop, you may stand and get exceptional views and photo ops. • At Mount Coolidge Lookout (6,000 ft), below in the distance you will see Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, the Needles and in the far prairie the famous Badlands. • Take a slow drive along the Needles Highway (amazing granite spires jutting into the sky). With stops at Needles Eye, Cathedral Spires and at several turnouts for photo ops . . . and of course the best tunnel in the Hills . . . Tunnel #5. Keep your camera ready there can be wildlife popping up at any time. • Stopping mid-day at the beautiful Sylvan Lake for a rest stop and some photos. • A picnic lunch is provided at Stockade Lake. (Beer/wine for 21 guests available On Request) • Then its off to tour the largest State Park in the U.S — Custer State Park. The tour will then drive the 19 mile Wildlife Loop stopping for photos of wildlife (prairie dogs, deer, elk, antelope, wild burros and more). And dont forget there are over 1,400 North American Bison (buffalo) scattered throughout the parks 110 square miles. When the tour drives up next to a buffalo you can stand and look down on it safely from only a few feet away . . . Fun! • After visiting the State Game Lodge (Summer White House for Presidents Coolidge and Eisenhower) and the new Custer Park Information Center you will be returned to your hotel between 6pm and 7pm.Additional InformationConfirmation will be rec
