Day 16: Mount Rushmore, South Dakota, Devil's Tower, Little Bighorn, Butte, Montana
The last few days were packed with site seeing and driving
First Mount Rushmore
Devil's Tower, Wyoming
A quick detour to see Devil's Tower up close. The line of cars to get up to the visitor's center (nearest to the rock formation) was so long (miles) we decided not to wait in it. We had a picnic lunch at a less crowded spot in the park and took some pictures.
We also were able to visit Little Bighorn. I didn't know that much about the site or the battle before visiting. It does feel like sacred ground. We watched a little video about the events that led to the battle and the massacre that occurred here. And we got to walk around to the places that many of the men died.
The markers show where the soldiers fell and died in battle
Montana does seem to have a "big sky"
Day 17: Butte, MT to Couer D'Alene, Idaho to Spokane, WA
A quick and hot visit to Lake Couer D'Alene
We got ice cream
It was hot and crowded. We stayed in Spokane that night and drove the next day home.
Day 18: Spokane, WA to Washougal, WA
We were pretty worn out by the end of our epic road trip, but it was a great experience - lots of memories made.
