of freedom and democracy and was completed in 1941 with 60 foot\u00a0high faces of four United States presidents carved out of a granite mountainside. Takie time to\u00a0stroll the Avenue of Flags, which is the main pathway to the Mount Rushmore memorial. Each state flag is arranged in alphabetical order and listed on the pillars below each flag.\u00a0After enjoying the grandeur of Mount Rushmore, we proceed to our bicycling starting point on Iron Mountain Road.\u00a0Iron Mountain Road is a project that engineers once said could not be built. It was built! The winding road runs between Mount Rushmore National Memorial and the junction of Custer State Park. You will be amazed by the beautiful scenery and the engineering marvel. One fun thing is to make sure you find are all the unique and fun views of Mount Rushmore during your bike ride. To do the scenery justice, bicycling is a must. When going through a tunnel of any sort look for excellent views&#8230;including from behind! Elk Haven is a fun place with a horse hotel and trails.\u00a0Iron Mountain Road, also known as 16A ,is an incredible journey. It will be a very memorable experience. Some say that this road is the most unusual captivating road in America. This road will leave an impression as a historical work of art designed to allow you to appreciate the beauty of the Black Hills. Most importantly, don\u2019t forget your camera!<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div><em>Breakfast provided by the hotel each morning.<\/em><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f20b663 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f20b663\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div><strong>Bicycling Route:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">0 miles, staying at the hotel; or 14 miles\u00a0<\/span>(with +818 ft of ascent and -2080 ft of total descent)\u00a0<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">after taking time to view Mount Rushmore with plenty of stops to see the beauty, overlooks and pictures then riding to the Main Custer State Park Wildlife Station Visitor Center; or 30 miles<\/span>\u00a0(with +2084 ft of ascent and -3344 ft of total descent)\u00a0<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">total by continue riding to the Custer State Park Wildlife Station and back to the Main Visitor Center for an additional16 miles.
