Check Out This Incredible Footage of South Dakota's Mt. Rushmore
Mount Rushmore is perhaps our most beloved national treasure here in South Dakota. Heck, they don’t call us the “Mount Rushmore State” for nothing, right?
Over two million people visit the monument every year, but most are restricted from ever getting too close. However, on special occasions, a privileged few are given the opportunity to fly aircraft directly over Mount Rushmore.
It’s safe to say no one has seen a view of the National Monument quite like this.
