Rushmore is a must. But, Custer State Park is wonderful. If you do Mt. Rushmore early in the morning, you can then go to Sylvan Lake, the Needles Highway, and into Custer State Park. Lunch at Legion Lake is easy and has a beautiful view. A hike near the State Game Lodge (Lover's Leap is about a two hour hike) would be a good afternoon activity. That would give you the opportunity to drive the Wildlife Loop late in the afternoon. The next day I suggest a cave tour at either Wind Cave or Jewel Cave. Other options include kayaking/paddle boarding, a visit to Devil's Tower in Wyoming, or a visit to the Badlands.  less

It is also beside a small airport with helicopters and bi-plane noise.  less

Kay and Russ Wallace If you are going to Maine, I would suggest also going to Lily Bay CG on Mousehead Lake. It is definitely worth the trip. I have always seen Moose in that area on every trip. Don't hit one, it would ruin your day.

Thedillmans We hiked the Mill Creek Falls and came across a little snow but was passable. Still plenty to see and do. Check out the Lava Tubes just outside the park.

It's less populated (touristy) and try to make the drive to Mono Lake on hwy395 at Lee Vining while you're there. If entering Yosemite from the west I highly recommend the south entrance. The (north) west entrance has horrid twisting bumper dragging white knuckle switchback grades.   less
