Once again, we were at the right place at the right time ... the ONLY weekend of the entire year that the public is invited to hike the world's largest mountain carving in progress. The annual Crazy Horse Volksmarch happens the first weekend of June every year. We joined about 25 thousand people in the 6.5 mile pilgrimage to the top
Pilgrims of all ages from around the world ... some well into their 80's. The people standing on the ledge below his face gives you a size perspective.
A view of a lifetime.
When you get to the top it is all worthwhile.
Standing on his extended arm looking into his eyes ... up close and personal.
This carving started in 1948 with a vision and a dream. Here is the small scale replica against the actual monument in the background. They say it will take many lifetimes before the monument is complete. The face began in 1948 and was dedicated in 1998.
We encourage YOU to put this on YOUR bucket list!
This is awesome! I'm excited to see more pictures and read more stories about your trip! So far the bar has been set super high with your hilarious blog title... I think an Uncle Norman bathroom story may be just what the Dr. (Fitz) ordered.
