• Doane Robinson Tunnel - Next is the second Pigtail Bridge, immediately followed by the first tunnel.

• Iron Mountain Picnic Area - Relish this final stretch of single-lane roller coaster driving. As you wind through the forest, you’ll soon crest the ridge and leave the Mount Rushmore area.

• Needles Highway - If you wish to visit cowboy poet Badger Clark’s home, it will be on the left. Look for a sign that says Badger’s Hole.

• Black Hills Playhouse - You’ll soon see a turnoff for the Black Hills Playhouse, possibly one of the most unique locations for drama in the world! Plays are staged between June and mid-August, a tradition that has been thriving since 1946.

• Sylvan Lake - Before long, you’ll arrive at Sylvan Lake, marking the state park boundary. There are two particularly noteworthy places of interest here.

• Sylvan Lake Lodge - You’ll soon pass the historic Sylvan Lake Lodge on the right, although it may be difficult to see through the trees.

• Crazy Horse Memorial - In just a few minutes, you’ll need to decide whether to take the detour to the Crazy Horse Memorial or continue following the tour loop around the Black Hills. Crazy Horse is just a ten-minute drive from the junction.
