After leaving Yellowstone, we headed to Cody, WY. The roadside was littered with hoodoo's, vertical stones standing in the rough and rugged hills.
From Cody, we drove up the Bighorn Pass to 9033'. There was a lot of open range and we had to watch for cattle on the road. We stayed in a lovely National Forest campground. Our drive up the pass gave us 3.6 mpg but we made up for it on the way down with 46.1 mpg. We arrived in Sundance, WY. And from there, visited Devils Tower.
This is an Indian religious site that is in a National Park. We saw a number of climbers on the 867' face.
We also saw more Longhorn antelope/deer on the plains than we could count.
Next, we landed in Custer, SD and used this as our base for the next week. We first visited Jewel Caves and took a tour to 234' underground. We followed that with a visit to Custer State Park, where I fed the wild burrows on the roadside.
From there, we went to Mt. Rushmore National Memorial and viewed the carvings of the presidents.
The next day brought us to Crazy Horse Monument, a work that has been in progress for over 50 years.
When it is completed, it will be the largest carving in the world. The exhibit contains a scale model of what the finished carving will look like.
