The most spectacular program at Mount Rushmore is the Evening Lighting Ceremony held in the Amphitheater at 9 p.m. sharp nightly during the summer season. A ranger introduces a 20-minute movie on Mount Rushmore. Then, with the tune of the “Star Spangled Banner” in the background, huge banks of floodlights dramatically reveal the four presidential faces, stark white against the black, starry Dakota sky. That’s when hearts swell with patriotism – and a renewed dedication to our nation and its founding principals of democracy and freedom. n Reasonable Rates http://www.backroadsinnandcabins.com http://www.backroadsinnandcabins.com http://www.blackhillsbadlands.com/brookside http://www.blackhillsbadlands.com/brookside http://www.blackhillsbadlands.com/econo http://www.blackhillsbadlands.com/econo
