Mount Rushmore

So I sent out the whole album as a link, but now I can display my favorites. It was difficult, because I liked so many of them for different reasons. But these are the ones I thought showed the most awesome colors.

This is just outside the Badlands after a rough storm. It was gorgeous.




This was our first time through the Badlands and it was breathtaking.



This was in the wildlife loop. You can see buffalo dotted throughout the hills and it made me feel like I lived in another time.



This is Mount Rushmore at 4:30 a.m. The sunrise was gorgeous and so worth the sleep sacrifice. It was awesome to have a National Monument to yourself.
