July 4 Travel: Mt. Rushmore.
My summer domestic travel continues to yet another mid-Western destination - this time to the popular Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota. Mt. Rushmore is one of the most prominent landmarks of America, and quite possibly one of the most notable monuments in the world along side the Statue of Liberty, The Taj Mahal, The Great Wall of China, etc.
I've always wanted to visit Mt. Rushmore, more so for the US independence day (July 4th) fireworks. I have seen the fireworks light up the sky, right behind the monument and I always wanted to check it out. Now that I have a cool camera, I am training myself in various camera setting to get that perfect picture of the monument and fireworks. Let us see how that turns out : )
I will also visit a bunch of other destinations along the way, such as the Bad Lands national park, the black hills, and even perhaps crossing over to Wyoming! My guesstimate is that I will be driving 1400+ miles (~ 2300 KM), crossing Iowa, Minnesota, and South Dakota...and may be in to Wyoming and back! It should be quite an exciting trip, a long time coming! I will post the photos for sure! Keep tuned.
