Iron Mountain Road and Mount Rushmore Views

Completing on our Tuesday trip, we were on the Iron Mountain Road. We had traveled this route on Monday morning on our way to Wind Cave, but in the opposite direction. Going north on the highway gives views of Mount Rushmore from an interesting perspective...
Coming to one of the tunnels...

There's something through there...

Oh!

It's a motorcycle coming, and Mount Rushmore!


On the other side (not zoomed in).

Later, the third tunnel...
Also has a view of Mount Rushmore as you travel through the tunnel.

View from the far side of the third tunnel.
Beyond the tunnels...
In addition to the stone tunnels, there are also pigtail bridges.

Coming up to the bridge (which we had already crossed over).

They are really beautiful wooden structures.

Finishing up our day... a deer alongside the road...

She was near the location where we had seen the group of deer in the morning on Monday (with the fawn that was galloping around) (http://trekincartwrights.blogspot.com/2018/08/wildlife-and-custer-state-park.html)
We finished up the day going out for dinner with John and Aleda. Keystone is a great base from which to visit the sites around the Black Hills.
