| Description: |
The Rushmore Aerial Tramway makes a
nice diversion if you
want to get a unique view of Mt. Rushmore and have
some fun too. The
tramway, a cable car really, rises several hundred
feet over nearly a
third of a mile to take you to the top of the
mountain across the
valley from Mt. Rushmore a mile and a half across
a scenic valley. When you are done viewing Mt. Rushmore you can either take the cable car back down or ride down a slide on a wheeled sled. You control the speed of the sled with a joystick that either raises or lowers a skd break. Info: 605-666-4478 or 605-355-9265. Fax. 605-355-9265.
