When you get there, this is the first view you have. All the state flags are flying with the year each state was created, and the order each became a state.
Walk through all the state flags, and this view opens up...It's worth stopping and taking a long look!
We then took the Presidential tour to get a closer look. Finally we visited the Sculptor's Studio, which was information on the architect that developed this National Monument. After a couple of hours, we were on our way for our one night layover in Rapid City, SD. With a little pool time at the hotel, we were ready for bed!
Next day on to Devil's Tower in Wyoming, with a brief drive through Sturgis, just because you can! :)
There is a trail that takes you around the whole monument, and I was surprised how different all the sides of it looked!
Perfect shot with the flag.
Of course you can't go to a national monument without holding it up.
One of the best road trips in recent memory. Any ideas where our next road trip should be?
