2016 Mount Rushmore Pilgrimage
Come Hike the Faces
The Mount Rushmore Pilgrimage has been a tradition since 1938. At the first hike, there were only images of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln on the Mountain. The final carving, Teddy Roosevelt, was still under construction.
Hikers will depart from locations throughout the Black Hills and end at Mount Rushmore. The Award Ceremony and Keynote Speaker will start around 4pm on September 10th 2016.
Not only will you be participating in the prestigious 78th Mount Rushmore Pilgrimage, where several thousand scout and scouters just like yourself have gone before, but you will also be reveling in the National Park Services Celebratory Centennial (100th Anniversary) and Mt. Rushmore’s Diamond Jubilee (75th anniversary of completion). #findyourpark
