Badlands and Mount Rushmore

The Badlands, located in South Dakota, is a dramatic landscape of sharply eroded buttes, pinnacles, and layered rock formations, shaped over millions of years by wind and water. Known for its striking beauty and rich fossil beds, the area is a haven for native wildlife. Nearby, Mount Rushmore is a monumental granite sculpture featuring the faces of four U.S. presidents—George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln—carved into the Black Hills. Together, the Badlands and Mount Rushmore are two of South Dakota's most iconic landmarks. All paperwork and payment must be received before 2/6/26.
