The Crazy Horse Monument is on its second generation of workers.

You can take your school age children to see it now, and they will probably be able to take their grand children to see the completion.

Crazy Horse from the Road

Crazy Horse is on a size scale rivaling anything done in ancient times. Seeing Crazy Horse every few years is like watching the construction of the the great pyramids of Egypt.

Here are pictures while driving by from 2002 (left top), 2005 (left lower), 2009 (right top).

It just costs fuel to see Crazy Horse from the road.

Crazy Horse Compound

There is an admission charge to get to the compound at Crazy Horse.

Besides the actual carving, money goes to finance various educational projects for local Native American tribes.

There are gift shops with emphasis on Native American craftsmanship, restaurant, the original model of the monument, an overview presentation, and a bit closer view of the monument(right).

Note the head of the monument in the picture of the model at left.

Crazy Horse Tour

Getting close to Crazy Horse requires a paid bus tour when no blasting is going on.

You can get close enough to see quite well, and even get closeups like this one of the face of Crazy Horse, if you have a power lens.

You begin to appreciate the scale of Crazy Horse.

All of Mt. Rushmore would fit in Crazy Horse's head.
