Interesting Tour Facts

  1. 1.Rushmore Cave is the closest cave to Mount Rushmore and is easily accessible from Keystone and Hermosa.

  2. 2.The cave contains a large number of beautiful cave formations such as stalactites and stalagmites and is a real crowd-pleaser!

  3. 3.There is no crawling required and there are no tight spaces at all. Minimum fitness should be the ability to walk an hour at a slow pace with a few modest stairs.

  4. 4.The entire tour route is illuminated with electric lights, and visitors may bring their own flashlight. The trail is well groomed and improved with steps and rails for a safe and enjoyable visitor experience. We go the extra mile to please the visitor.

  5. 5.Flash photography is encouraged and sufficient light-levels allow for the use of most video cameras.

  6. 6.The cave temperature is 58 degrees Fahrenheit and we recommend visitors wear comfortable outdoors type clothing and stable walking shoes.

  7. 7.We offer an AUTOMATIC REFUND POLICY for visitors that must leave a tour. If you must leave the tour for some reason, such as claustrophobia or other health related problems, we will offer a "no questions asked" refund.
