Crazy Horse, Custer – 12151 Avenue of the Chiefs, Crazy Horse, SD 57730

We seem to love to carve mountains into men in the United States.  First, Mount Rushmore and now Crazy Horse.

The first time I saw Crazy Horse I was a child.  There was only an armpit.  You drove by and donated a couple of dollars as you past the man holding the bucket.

Years later I returned and progress had definitely been made both on the mountain and with the visitor center.

At the center you can learn the history of the construction and of Crazy Horse himself.  You can see the small statue of what the end product should look like.

Here is a picture of the mountain in 2005, my second trip.

Getting to watch the progress over the years is really exciting.  If you want to learn more about the project or donate to it check out the website for Crazy Horse.
