Helicopter Tour Of Rushmore

We decided that we should go back to Mount Rushmore which we had visited last year and thoroughly enjoyed. Tom spotted a billboard advertising Helicopter Tours, so that is what we did for a  different perspective of this iconic landmark.

A rather small helicopter I thought. And a very young pilot....I wondered if his mother knew what he was up to!

Once we were up in the air the views were amazing. Tom sat in front and loved it. I was quite happy tucked in the back.

We were soon approaching the major landmark of the flight

What a unique perspective we got

This is Harney Peak, the highest US peak East of the Rockies

We got a birds-eye view of one the pigtail bridges on Iron Mountain Road. Just an hour earlier we had been riding down there!

We both felt very lucky to have been able to enjoy such an incredible experience on such a lovely day.
