Have you ever wanted to see Mount Rushmore, but not make the drive to South Dakota? Check out these high-res images and brief history of the United States biggest sculpture and coolest memorial to four of the best presidents we've ever had.
Mt. Rushmore 4th of July fireworks
Mount Rushmore National Memorial, near Keystone, South Dakota, is a granite sculpture created by Gutzon Borglum.
The project started on October 4, 1927 and ended on October 31, 1941. The entire memorial covers 1,278.45 acres and is 5,725 feet above sea level.
Representing the first 150 years of history for the United States, the 60ft. sculptures of the heads of former United States presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.
Most people don’t know that Thomas Jefferson was originally intended to appear in the area at Washington’s right, the rock was found to be unsuitable. The work done on the “original” Jefferson figure was dynamited, and a new figure was sculpted to Washington’s left.
Currently, Mount Rushmore is managed by the National Park Service, and attracts approximately two million people every year.

I’m torn about visiting Mount Rushmore – looks neat but it is out in the middle of nowhere, sorry SD. I have heard there is a great ice cream store near there.

That pretty much does it. Now I can officially cross “visit South Dakota” off my list of things to do before 2010.
