After Mt. Rushmore the bus took us on the Peter Norbeck Scenic Byway. Along this road, there were trees growing out of rocks, 6 tunnels that were very narrow, pigtailed bridges, and beautiful scenery. One place the bus driver stopped so we could take a picture of Cathedral Spires across a valley. One woman climbed high on a rock hoping she would get a great picture, but a tree was in the way. She commented, "Couldn't they just cut that tree down?"
As we went through each tunnel, they seemed to get smaller. Our tour bus barely squeezed through the last tunnel on the Needles Highway, adding a lot of excitement to the ride. Actually, when we did emerge on the other side of the tunnel, the people who we waiting to go through, clapped!
