Mount Rushmore National Memorial, located 23 miles southwest of Rapid City, is something you don't want to miss. It's the greatest FREE Attraction in the US! "Until the wind and the rain alone shall wear them away." Those are the famous words Sculptor Gutzon Borglum used to describe the length of time his most famous work, Mt. Rushmore, will endure. The mountain itself was originally named after Charles E. Rushmore, a New York lawyer investigating mining claims in the Black Hills in 1885. Gutzon Borglum chose this mountain due to its height (5700' above sea level), the soft grainy consistency of the granite, and the fact that it catches the sun for the greatest part of the day. The presidents were selected on the basis of what each symbolized. George Washington represents the struggle for independence, Thomas Jefferson the idea of government by the people. Abraham Lincoln for his ideas on equality and the permanent union of the states, and Theodore Roosevelt for the 20th century role of the United States in world affairs. The carving of Mt. Rushmore actually began on August 10, 1927, and spanned a length of 14 years. Only about six and a half years were spent actually carving the mountain, with the rest of the time being spent on weather delays and Borglum's greatest enemy - the lack of funding. The total cost of the project was $900,000. Work continued on the project until the death of Gutzon Borglum in 1941. No carving has been done on the mountain since that time and none is planned in the future.The granite faces of four American presidents' is scaled to men who would stand 465 feet tall! President Calvin Coolidge believed Mount Rushmore was "decidedly American in its conception, magnitude and meaning. It is altogether worthy of our country," Coolidge proclaimed at the dedication of the project in 1927. The most spectacular program at Mount Rushmore is the evening lighting ceremony held in the new amphitheater, 9:00 PM sharp. A must see when you are touring the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota. A $56 million redevelopment was completed in 1998 with the addition of a new parking structure, amphitheater, museum/theater complex, Visitor Orientation Center, Presidential Trail, gift shop, bookstore, and dining facilities. To complete your Rushmore experience, view the evening lighting ceremony. The National Park Service sponsors a special program Memorial Day through Labor Day. It consists of a 10-minute talk followed by a 20-minute film. The highlight of the evening is the slow exposure of light to the monument until it is fully illuminated. It's a good idea to go early and bring a jacket. Program times are as follows: 9:00-9:30 P.M. lighting ceremony, 9:30-10:30 P.M. illumination. For these traveling in the off season, the faces are illuminated nightly. There are few people who are not subdued by the moments as they gaze upon the beauty of Mt. Rushmore. Just as the monument challenged its creator, so should its splendor challenge its viewer.

President Mo-unt开国元勋华盛顿、《独立宣言》的起草者杰佛逊、奠定20世纪美国之基础的西奥多.罗斯福和解放黑奴的领导者林肯因为他们牛比啊全美闻名的拉什莫尔山耸立在南达科他州巴登兰以西不远的地方，山上雕刻着美国四位著名总统的巨大头像。从左至右，这四位总统是：开国元勋华盛顿、《独立宣言》的起草者杰佛逊、奠定20世纪美国之基础的西奥多.罗斯福和解放黑奴的领导者林肯。 这个不同凡响的艺术巨作系出自美国艺术家夏兹昂·波格隆之手。1923年美国历史学家多恩·罗宾逊首先萌发出在群山上雕刻巨像的念头，但他只设想在山头上雕刻一些西部武打好汉供入参观。1924年秋，他邀请波格隆前来观看地形。波格隆一眼望见由花岗石形成的拉什莫尔山居于群山之上，沐浴在阳光之中，便认定这是他实现自己的夙愿、雕凿美四位著名总统头像最理想的地方。1927年8月10日，柯立芝总统宣布将拉什莫尔山辟为国家纪念场，雕塑工程也与此同时正式破土动工。工程伊始，资金全靠私人捐助，联邦政府到后来才给予财政支持。由于经费短缺和气候恶劣。工程经常被迫中断，所以工期长达十四个春秋，而实际施工只有六年半。工程动功之时，波格隆已年逾六句，从此他把亲生的全部心血都倾注在这件艺术杰作上，仅艺术造型，就反复设计达九次之多。1941年波格隆与世长辞，没能亲睹工程计划完成。他的儿子林肯继承父业，于1941年底勉强完工。 这四尊巨人头像与山峰浑然一体，十分壮观，游人来此无不肃然起敬。石像的面部高达18米，仅鼻子长就有6米。华盛顿像是一座胸像，肩部与胸部巧妙地依山形雕出。其余三人都是头像，西奥多.罗斯福和林肯的像只雕刻了面部。因此四人的肖像十分突出，他们的表情都严肃而庄重。那紧闭着的嘴唇、凝视着远方的眼睛，维妙维肖，颇为传神。同时四人又各具特色，显示出不同的性格和特征，可谓栩栩如生，音容宛在。 为了表示对四位总统的崇敬之情，拉什莫尔山禁止游人攀登。在山脚下设有观瞻中心，上午阳光洒满山峰是瞻仰巨像的最好时机，每年6-9月，这里还备有照明设备，即使在夜间也能真切地欣赏这一艺术杰作。
