After Custer State Park, we were headed to Mount Rushmore by way of the Needles Highway!
This road is winding and there are 3 tunnels through the Black Hills.
There are height and width restrictions and although Ernie thought we could get through them with the camper, we decided to stay at Center Lake Campground at Custer State Park and take off the camper so there would be NO issues with getting stuck or scraped in the tunnels.
Our truck/camper is about 8'10" high and 7'9" wideOk, ready to roll!
First Up....Iron Creek Tunnel - 8' 9" wide x 10'10" tall
The Black Hills
Needles Eye Tunnel - (This is the reason we took the camper off the truck) 8' wide x 9'9" tall - Can't even imagine getting stuck in this tunnel!
More beautiful views of the Black Hills!
Hood Tunnel - LAST ONE! 8' 9" wide x 9'8" tall - Easy Peazy! Fun fact, if we would have come through the opposite way, we would have had a view of Mount Rushmore! Oh well, that is where we are heading anyway!
Mount Rushmore....here we come!
