You might be able to see them from there. It's only about 1.5 miles as the crow flies but the KOA in down in a valley of sorts. Just FYI, the roads and everywhere will be packed even though Trump will be there.

Thanks! We'll probably head into town and find a spot along the road if we can. Can't wait!

It will be packed beyond belief. We have a spot higher up and watch the cars stream out for hours on a regular year before they quit. Will be even more this year Im thinking unless they really tighten things up for Trump.
Should be interesting seeing how they control it all. Id check out Iron Mountain Road. Has several viewpoints but not sure requirements to be on it and/or park up there during show. Im sure many others have same idea |

Thanks. We're going to get a night at the Rushmore inn just so we don't have to deal with traffic. U think we'll mosey up the road a bit and catch them there

I see Rushmore express inn next door.... I am going to say you are gonna want to find someplace better than the side of the road. It is gonna be a shit show. Not a lot of "side of the road" compared to how many will be there. |

That's what I'm hearing. Any idea of how long to estimate for getting from the KOA at Palmer Gulch to Keystone that morning? I know they are closing the direct route, but the other say about 25 mins. I was planning on 2 hrs dont know if that crazy high/low or just right.

Man, google earth with VR is an awesome tool to recon an area! |

Traffic will be ok if think most of the day up until a few hours before the show. Trump throws a wrench in those estimates but on a prior year it’s normal until 5 or so.

Sounds like sizable protest In keystone and roads starting to close at midnight Thursday night up past Mt Rushmore.
Will be interesting with 1400 parking spots for 7500 people. We will be watching from nearby overlook |

Yeah, saw that on the keystone events page. Oh joy.
We just had our fill of pancakes and are about to set off into town. We'll be at the Keystone Project parking lot to get our spot. Then doing the tram adventures and 1880 train before heading back to the parking to watch the events. Can't wait! It's crazy seeing everyone come out of the wood work saying how this is a bad idea. Crazy. |

Left at 0930 took the back road into Keystone. Zero traffic. Parked at the keystone Project as soon as we got there. Awesome view form there.
Can't wait for tonight. Any one have any idea of when the flyovers are? We're taking the 2:30 train to hill city and should be back at 5. Then finish up the adventure Park, get some grub and drinks and enjoy the show! |

Hey guys, I'm in town with my oldest boy (3.5yo) I was going to walk up iron mountain road to catch the fireworks, but that's an easy multi hour hike with him on my back.
Can anyone explain the keystone project? I google mapped it and it is considerably closer. Thanks in advance for any info. |

It was a $50 donation to park at the top of the hill. That huge wooden structure you see in town. Was Leary about the view but it's frreakn awesome. Been at the tram adventures park this morning/ afternoon. On the 1880 train now. Back to the park for a few more things then di met and waiting.

Found a nice spot near the Rushmore View hotels.
Only had to walk the little guy back to the hotel 3 times for various reasons :/ But hey, we made it! |
