Thus, the town makes for the perfect basecamp from which to explore the forest, whose ponderosa pines hold everything from the glittering mineral deposits of Jewel Cave to Harney Peak, the tallest point in South Dakota. Lead is also just a 90-minute drive from Mount Rushmore, one of America’s most iconic man-made monuments. Mount Rushmore isn’t the only mountain-size monument in the area. There’s also the Crazy Horse monument, where sculptors are in the process of crafting a 563-foot-tall statue dedicated to the legendary Oglala Lakota leader. Only the face is completed so far.
