  • Iron Mountain Road in South Dakota is a 17-mile scenic drive in the Black Hills. On this challenging drive you will experience 314 curves, 14 switchbacks, 3 pigtails and 3 one lane tunnels. Iron Mountain Road winds its way through Custer State Park and the Black Hills National Forest, passing Mount Rushmore National Monument. We like to drive Iron Mountain Road from south to north, as you then have excellent views as you approach Mount Rushmore.
    Iron Mountain Road was built in 1933 under the direction of Peter Norbeck. This magnificent road brings visitors through beautiful Black Hills scenery and through narrow tunnels that frame Mount Rushmore. At the top of the 5,445-foot summit, you can stop at the Peter Norbeck overlook where you have beautiful views of Mount Rushmore and the surrounding Black Hills.
    Iron Mountain Road is part of U.S. Route 16A and is not maintained during the winter months. This road is narrow, and parts of the road are not recommended for RVs and large trailers. Drivers should be aware of the tunnel sizes in the park. The narrowest of the three tunnels is the Scovel Johnson Tunnel at 10 feet 9 inches wide by 11 feet high.
    Custer State Park, South Dakota is a beautiful park and wildlife reserve of approximately 71,000 acres in the Black Hills. Custer State Park is known for its amazing landscapes, scenic drives, and a free roaming bison herd. The size of the bison herd varies slightly from year to year but averages approximately 1400 bison.

    Hi this was amazing. We loved the views and the vastness of the route. The buffalo are absolutely fantastic we loved them. Mount Rushmore is unbelievable such a wonderful sight it's good how the tunnels are situated to give you a view of it. Thank you so much for sharing this superb road. Hope you have a great week Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤️

    What a beautiful winding mountain road, the scenery was absolutely gorgeous. How wonderful that you saw all those buffalo up close. A bit too close, at times! 🫣😅They were fascinating to watch. What a great view of Mount Rushmore from the roadside. Thank you for taking us along on your drive. It was very enjoyable and relaxing to watch ❤

      Thanks! Yes the buffalo did get very close to our truck, which made us a bit nervous. Thankfully they just walked around it. We love this drive. The scenery here is beautiful.

    The tunnels are interesting. It seems odd that the road turns into a one lane road at different times. Have a great day! 🌿🐸🐸🌿

      The bison herd at Custer State Park truly is magnificent. Generally the bison are calm, but they sometimes can become upset with the cars or park visitors and can become very dangerous. So you always want to stay in your vehicle and keep plenty of distance if at all possible. Iron Mountain Road is a really beautiful drive in the Black Hills of South Dakota. It is one of our favorites!

  • @chrisbentleywalkingandrambling

    I certainly wouldn't be making eye contact or edging the car towards any of the Buffalo? Bison? (You said both). They certainly have the right of way. I am always amazed at the stupidity of some tourists who think, even presented with previous evidence, that they are tame. I don't think I'd be there on a motorbike or trike like they were. The views of Mount Rushmore were amazing. I like that they have it so you get a different view after each tunnel. That tight turn back under the road was beautiful. There must be a weight limit I would think. 76f, that would be wonderful just about now. I loved the video. Thanks for sharing Anita.

    • @blendedtravels
      @blendedtravels  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Technically they are bison. But here in the states we tend to us the words bison or buffalo interchangeably. The herd here is always beautiful to watch and yes I cringe every time I see someone get out of their car for a closer picture. They are wild animals and can run very fast and they need to be respected. When we had gone out for an evening walk, we came across a huge male by himself in the meadow, right near the path. We walked WAY around him and didn't disturb him. Yes I agree that 76F would be lovely right now! It is -4F here at the moment. Take care!

    • @blendedtravels
      @blendedtravels  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I guess I do sound calm. I think it is because I have seen the bison here numerous times over the years. I certainly wouldn't be calm if I wasn't inside the safety of our truck! Bison can be very dangerous, as unfortunately some people have learned the hard way. Custer State Park such a beautiful park in South Dakota. Thanks so much for watching!

      Thanks! This is such a beautiful drive. We have to drive it whenever we are visiting the Black Hills. Yes the buffalo encounter a few years ago was very scary. It was very dark and we came around a curve and there was a huge male buffalo right in our path. I slammed on the brakes and came within about 3 feet of hitting him. It is such a beautiful park.

    Hi Anita
    Such a beautiful mountain roads. I get used to curvy roads in NC, but so much details you mentioned, for instance the numbers of switchbacks, may make me car sick..hahha joking.
    OMGoodness, how fortunate to encounter so many Bisons roaming right front of YOU.
    haha You gave me chuckles when you said your worries about scratching your truck, hahahah sounds like me
    Isn't it cool to drive through one way tunnel. wow it is rock!!! 12:38 I went through long one in KY, and some had to back up. It was so scary to watch car backing up in the dark tunnel
    wow this view really takes my breath away 13:03 14: 23 Especially I have never been to.
    I hope you had enough gas..
    I picture your body moving around when you drive through such wavy roads. hang on tight. hahaha
    I envy you. The weather is gorgeous. I am still having cold mornings with below freezing point. The green is radiant and bright, wow
    Thank you so much for making my day, Anita.

    Driving the Iron Mountain Road in South Dakota through Custer State Park and the Black Hills National Forest is sure to be an incredible experience! This road is famous for its stunning views, challenging turns and breathtaking natural panoramas.
    Custer State Park itself is a popular nature tourism destination known for its biodiversity and stunning natural views. Meanwhile, the Black Hills National Forest provides a charming backdrop with lush forests and stunning mountain views.
    The Iron Mountain Road's signature curves, including the famous "pigtail bridges," add a thrilling element of adventure to the ride. You may also see wild life, including bison, which often roam the area.
    I hope your car ride will leave you with deep impressions and unforgettable memories. If you have any special stories or experiences along the way, I'd love to hear them! Enjoy adventure on Iron Mountain Road and the surrounding area. May you discover the beauty and peace that can only be found in the wilds of the United States. Enjoy your driving! 🚗🏞Great shots.

    I would have to take dramamine before embarking on the 314 curves and 14 switchbacks in 17 miles. But it definitely looks worth it. Such beautiful scenery as you drive along Iron Mountain Road. You had gorgeous views of the mountains - and eventually of Mount Rushmore. Thanks for sharing the drive with us!

    I have never been to this part of the country. One day I will definitely do the trip. Such a lovely winding mountain road. All of the views are absolutely beautiful. Great to see the buffalo right from the road. Great close-up views. Nice tunnels and views of Mount Rushmore. I enjoyed this lovely road trip. Have a great week.🙂🙂

    • @blendedtravels
      @blendedtravels  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes the buffalo are wild. They live in Custer State Park which is also a wildlife game reserve. They are free to roam wherever they want in the park. They do use the road at times when they are walking between meadows. You just have to wait and let them pass. I hope you are having a great day!

  • @josiebelalde7813
    @josiebelalde7813 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    This is so nice to experience but dangerous at the same time and “yield” is the most important to pass this place. The road is very curvy but so peaceful to drive while watching the beautiful scenery. I think the buffalo is the one who got scared more and one of the reasons why they became very protective around them. Peter Norbec has a spectacular view especially watching the mountains. I LOVE the way you laugh after you bite your apple :) It would be to hard to drive if there is another vehicle in the opposite side. Thank you so much for bringing us with you, really appreciate it ❤

    • @blendedtravels
      @blendedtravels  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      This is such a beautiful road to drive in the Black Hills of South Dakota and the bison here are always truly amazing. Yes the views at the Peter Norbeck scenic overlook are really lovely. I was glad we had such great weather on the day that we drove this last summer. I took WAY too big of a bite from that apple. Thank you so much for watching. I really appreciate it!

    "Embarking on the exhilarating journey of Iron Mountain Road felt like a thrilling adventure through nature's rollercoaster. The 314 curves, 14 switchbacks, and tunnels carved into the Black Hills make this drive a picturesque masterpiece. Traveling from south to north allowed us to savor perfect views of Mount Rushmore. Built in 1933 by Peter Norbeck, the road is a testament to engineering brilliance. The three tunnels, including the Scovel Johnson Tunnel, frame Mount Rushmore majestically. Custer State Park's landscapes and the roaming bison herd add to the allure. Thanks for sharing this awe-inspiring drive! 🚗🏞️ #IronMountainRoad #ScenicDrive #BlackHills"😊❤

      This is probably our favorite drive in the Black Hills. Another great one is The Needles Highway. The bison are always so amazing to see. Usually you can find them on Iron Mountain Road or the Wilderness Drive. The visitor center at Custer State Park can usually tell you where they are located on a given day. I hope you have a great time!

    This video beautifully captures the exhilarating journey along Iron Mountain Road in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The scenic drive, with its 314 curves, 14 switchbacks, and captivating landscapes, provides a thrilling experience for viewers. The fact that it passes through Custer State Park and offers stunning views of Mount Rushmore adds to the allure. The historical context about the road's construction under Peter Norbeck in 1933 adds depth to the narrative. The cautionary note about tunnel sizes and road suitability for RVs is helpful for potential travelers. Overall, it's an engaging visual exploration of the natural beauty and engineering marvels of Iron Mountain Road. Thanks for sharing this captivating adventure! 🚗🏞
