Food Scene

Tasty and economical. Dinner has a limited menu that includes two choices: a bacon-wrapped filet mignon, served with a baked potato, Texas toast and a quarter wedge of lettuce with our homemade ranch dressing or Kaes Spaetzle Primavera. Both $11.95. Great desserts. No credit cards accepted, only cash. Will likely be a waiting line unless you beat the crowd. Doors open at 5, no credit cards, so bring. Lunch menu features German entrees.

Parks & Nature

Mount Rushmore National Park has more than just the monument. There is a walking trail that circles under the "faces" and a sculptors studio. We recommend to attend the evening lighting ceremony just after sunset in the amphitheater. If you visit during the day, keep your parking ticket and you can return at no additional cost for the lighting ceremony. Restaurant on site.
