Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

With nearly three million visitors each year, a visit to Mount Rushmore often includes heavy crowds, long entry lines, and peak prices during the summer. To avoid these inconveniences, guests are advised to plan their trip for one of the shoulder seasons instead, and given the weather conditions, September is one of the best choices. As the Black Hills start to cool off with the changing of the seasons, as well as many students heading back to school and families ending their summer vacations, it is no surprise that a visit to Mount Rushmore during September will cost less and give visitors a more intimate experience on the Presidential Trail.
