If you look at the photo above, you can see Mt. Rushmore through the tunnel. This is Iron Mountain Road, which is part of scenic US Route 16A. According to Wikipedia,
Portions of US 16A are known as the Iron Mountain Road. The route includes most of the tunnels on the South Dakota state highway system, including the only four-lane tunnel in the state, just north of Keystone. Part of the highway is also a boundary of the Black Elk Wilderness. The Iron Mountain portion of the road is not maintained in the winter. The road, like several other scenic roads in the Black Hills, was originally laid out by Governor Peter Norbeck, specifically to create a very scenic, slow-speed road for tourists.
Here is a video of travel along the road, and the driver goes through tunnels, too:
On this tour, you will experience Iron Mountain Road in its full glory!
As you can see from the number of blog posts we’ve done for this tour, there is an incredible amount to see on this tour. Highly recommended! We welcome reservations from Indianapolis, where we are based, or from any location in the United States or Canada.
