kinda cool to think that these roads are isolated all winter! wouldn't it be fun to take a snowmobile through them? Or an ATV?

we climbed up a rock wall to a lookout area on top of the tunnel for an absolutely stunning view of Mt. Rushmore and the Black Hills... there were only two other people who climbed up here
