Oesch Wild West Adventure Part III

Next up was Rapid City, SD, Mt. Rushmore and the Black Hills. We took Emma to Bear Country in order to guarantee some wildlife spottings (and Rett too!).

go Rams go!

We ate downtown Rapid City and then drove to Mt. Rushmore. We missed the lighting ceremony but we were able to see the faces lit on the side of the mountain.

The next day we began our day long adventure at Mt. Rushmore and then through the winding roads of the Black Hills.

and so begins our trip through the Black Hills...

Crazy Horse

Needles Highway

Emma was such a great road tripper that day that we decided to spend our night at the Water Park attached to our hotel so she could run around and play...and I loved the water slides too!

Next up- the drive to Bozeman, Montana!
