HEADS UP, CLIMBERS!
Mt. Rushmore is currently undergoing a prescribed burn, and things are a little too smoky for climbing right now. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

For your safety (and to help out the crews doing the work), please avoid the area until at least the 28th. Weโ€™ll keep you posted if that changes!

These burns are an important part of keeping our forests healthy โ€” thanks for helping keep the Hills safe and sustainable.
