We'll be visiting many areas of both natural beauty and historical significance, including Mount Rushmore, Jewel Cave, Harney Peak, Custer State Park and the nearby Badlands.

And, yes, we'll be visiting the Crazy Horse Memorial in the Black Hills, although I must admit I'm in two minds about this massive monument-in-progress to the "strange man of the Oglalas," a man who during his lifetime lived a life of simplicity and humility.
I'll be taking a break from blogging during my time in Pahá Sápa, though I definitely look forward to sharing photos and stories of my visit to this beautiful part of North America upon my return to Minneapolis at the end of next week.
