I love Mt. Rushmore. It is so overwhelming...so tranquil...so beautiful...its just soooo...everything! This is our second visit and I could come back every day. It is hard to explain why this place hold that certain magic...but, it does. There is a "Presidential Trail" that runs under the Faces, through the trees and around the bottom of the mountain for about .6 of a mile that gives you different views of the carvings at every stopping point. The different perspectives give this magnificent panorama entirely different looks. Really amazing. They could explain to me over and over again how they did the carving, but I would probably still not understand how you start with a rock mountain and wind up with exact likenesses of four our outstanding Presidents. They did it...in just fourteen years...and as long as there is an America people from all over the world will come and marvel at what brave, courageous men were able to create.
