Keystone, SD at a Glance
More familiar than the city of Keystone is its most famous landmark, the Mount
Rushmore National Memorial. The over-5000-foot tall mountain features
the busts of four former United States Presidents—George Washington, Thomas
Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt—carved into its face. Thousands
of visitors are attracted to the area each year to view this symbol of American
government. Located in the Black Hills of South
Dakota, Keystone was also a former mining town. Today, an old gold mine,
known as Big
Thunder, offers tours daily. Several natural underground caves also exist
near Keystone, with guided
tours available through them. Hiking and horseback riding are also popular
activities in the area, with several guest ranches and campgrounds to serve the
needs of these visitors. Keystone also retains some of its frontier heritage,
with historic store fronts and wild west shows in the Red
Garter Saloon.
