My husband and I saw Crazy Horse in August 2015. It is well worth the trip. We really enjoyed the whole area. Loved seeing the shows put on at Crazy Horse and all the exhibits.
We took a bus tour to Mt Rushmore, ate breakfast right below the mountain. We could view it while eating. It was rainy the day we went but it was still very impressive. The bus tour also took us to Crazy Horse park....Both are a must see if you are that close.
We drove into the Badlands not knowing what to expect. We tool the scenic loop. It was amazing. It was also 108 degrees in Aug when we visited but don't let that scare you...it's dry heat with a gentle breeze. The sites are just beautiful out in the middle of no where!!!
