Mount Rushmore day trip selling reasonably well
July 24th, 2008 at 11:23am Thomas V. Bona
I say “reasonably” because RFD has sold out three other trips in a day each. So the airport has set the bar high.
But 51 seats in less than a day 63 seats in about a day is still pretty good, especially for the most expensive trip and longest trip yet. Bowling Green, Ky., the only day trip to fail, sold only 30 seats in several days.
Besides the presidential mountain, the day trip takes people near Badlands National Park, the Crazy Horse Memorial and the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. I’m told you could fly up there in the morning, rent a motorcycle, go to the rally and then go back home.
Anyone out there taking this trip or thinking about it? I’d be interested in hearing what you’re most interested in up there.

Although I can’t take the day trip (unless they offer it in 2009:) ), I do highly recommend Deadwood, South Dakota. I had temporary duty at Ft. Meade, just outside of Sturgis, back in ‘02. One day we headed up to Mt. Rushmore on U.S. 16, did the tour, then headed north on U.S. 385 to Deadwood to the Midnight Star Casino, owned by Kevin Costner (and where I actually had a rare lucky streak on the slots). From Deadwood to Rapid City Airport I think is no more than an hour drive.
