Mount Rushmore in South Dakota

A photo story

Mount Rushmore

Mount Rushmore in June 2017, with a big slope of broken granite spread out below the carvings. It was an early, mostly clear morning, around 57, with a light breeze and only a trace of leftover moisture in the air.

The four faces sit in the Black Hills, and the talus below them is a mess of gray granite. I took this from the viewing side, looking up at the carvings.
