DRIVING IRON MOUNTAIN ROAD South Dakota | Custer State Park | Black Hills National Forest

Iron Mountain Road in South Dakota is a 17-mile scenic drive in the Black Hills. On this challenging drive you will experience 314 curves, 14 switchbacks, 3 pigtails and 3 one lane tunnels. Iron Mountain Road winds its way through Custer State Park and the Black Hills National Forest, passing Mount Rushmore National Monument. We like to drive Iron Mountain Road from south to north, as you then have excellent views as you approach Mount Rushmore. Iron Mountain Road was built in 1933 under the direction of Peter Norbeck. This magnificent road brings visitors through beautiful Black Hills scenery and through narrow tunnels that frame Mount Rushmore. At the top of the 5,445-foot summit, you can stop at the Peter Norbeck overlook where you have beautiful views of Mount Rushmore and the surrounding Black Hills. Iron Mountain Road is part of U.S. Route 16A and is not maintained during the winter months. This road is narrow, and parts of the road are not recommended for RVs and large trailers. Drivers should be aware of the tunnel sizes in the park. The narrowest of the three tunnels is the Scovel Johnson Tunnel at 10 feet 9 inches wide by 11 feet high. Custer State Park, South Dakota is a beautiful park and wildlife reserve of approximately 71,000 acres in the Black Hills. Custer State Park is known for its amazing landscapes, scenic drives, and a free roaming bison herd. The size of the bison herd varies slightly from year to year but averages approximately 1400 bison. #blackhills #southdakota #scenicdrive Music by Epidemic Sound: https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Please be sure to like, comment and subscribe to our channel at:    / @blendedtravels
