Will told me yesterday he wanted to go to Mt Rushmore next summer
We went as a family....Will was not born at the time.
Black Hills South Dakota 2003 - Rock Midget Photography
It is about 1400 miles from Jackson, like Moab was.

Here are pictures from my 2 wheeling trips to the Black Hills. Don't be intimidated by the trails in these pictures, I purposely took my vehicles on the hardest trails while there. If we do the Black Hills Cruiser Classic, they have levels of trail rides for different vehicles.

This is a superb family vacation destination/wheeling trip. I would say for the family stuff it is even better than Moab was.
For a National Park nut like me, you have Mt Rushmore, Wind Cave and Badlands all in the same area. Devil's Tower, Sturgis and the other small towns in the Black Hills are just super cool.
The event is usually held Mid-July. USUALLY, the weather is 20* cooler there than here in July, but in 2003 it was hotter there than in TX so I am not making any promises.
Right now, I am putting this on the calendar for my main family vacation for 2012 like Moab was in 2011. I would love to have my Cottonland family go too.
This would be great because if you want to bring a wagon, bring a wagon. You want to rockcrawl? Bring a crawler. Trail ride? Motorcycle? You get the picture.
2011 Registration with links to Trail descriptions etc....

If Woody starts now, maybe he can get a wooly-booger stash like this grown by July
