Last weekend, I & my hubby along with close friends of ours drove down to Mount Rushmore & Crazy Horse Memorial in South Dakota, about 365 miles from our home in Colorado.
Mount Rushmore National Memorial is part of the Black Hills in South Dakota. The four faces carved on the Mountain are that of Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt & Lincoln. They were sculpted by Gutzon Borglum & several other workers from 1927 to 1941. The dimensions of each face are approximately 60 feet from chin to top of the head, eyes are 11 feet across, nose: 20 feet & mouth: 18 feet across. The entire sculpture is 185 feet across & 150 feet tall.
