Thank you, All Park Rangers.My family and I visited Mount Rushmore in July 2023 and were amazed by the knowledge and presentation given by the park rangers discussing how the land formed in that area. I truly enjoyed hearing about the facts and left the park with a greater appreciation. Thank you to all who devote their time to educating others about these beautiful wonders and preserving the natural beauty of our National Parks.
