Mt. Rushmore cancels its Fireworks Display

On Wednesday, January 13th, Mt. Rushmore National Memorial released a statement that the 2010 July 3rd fireworks display has been canceled due to "the unacceptable risk they pose to the fragile condition of the Black Hills forests in and around the memorial resulting from extensive damage from an epidemic of mountain pine beetles."

With the cancellation of the display, we will not be offering the Fireworks Express in 2010. As an alternative, the train will be running a 6:45 pm departure in its place. This is a regular season train ride and will be $22.00 for adults and $12.00 for children.

If you have any questions, feel free to call our office at 605-574-2222.
