They are doing some renovating so this is as far as they let people come but you can hike up further along a path which we didn't do.

The Mickleson Trail. We didn't stay on it long. There were too many places thick with stone and making our tires squirrel around.

Crazy Horse! You can see where they are working on his arm pointing in front of him.

We are in Custer tonight at the edge of town. There's a nice grocery store here and we have good eats for the rest of the day!
