Badlands > Rushmore > Boulder

Wall Drug

Wall Drug – free ice water

Rushmore

Kristen and Jeff at Mt Rushmore

The Black Hills are gorgeous.

We had breakfast at Wall Drug (home of free ice water and 5c coffee), then headed up to Rushmore.  Mt Rushmore speaks for itself (we spent 1-2 hours there, which was plenty). Everything South and West of the Black Hills (i.e. Eastern Wyoming) was super boring and brown until we got to the front range of the Rockies.

Also, we drove by the huge forest fire in Northern Colorado right when it was starting. We thought it was factory pollution when we were in Cheyenne, but saw a large area of forest burning as we drove South toward Boulder.
