Russ Brown Motorcycle Lawyers:  The 71st Sturgis Motorcycle Rally will kick off this August 8th in Sturgis, South Dakota, and this year promises to be the largest and most amazing rally yet. If you are considering taking the trip, why not consider making it an action packed, all-American vacation? South Dakota and the neighboring states are home to some of this country’s most awe-inspiring attractions and motorcyclists who choose to attend Sturgis will be right in the middle of them.

The Devil’s Tower National Monument:
The Devil’s Tower is a breath-taking monument just across the state line in Wyoming. The massive rock formation was a magical place for the Lakota and Cheyenne Indians in the northern plains and is a wonder to behold. Nature enthusiasts and rock climbers are sure to love it.

Mount Rushmore National Memorial:
This awe-inspiring sculpture features the faces of four famous American presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. With 60-foot-high faces, this sculpture towers 500 feet over visitors. A variety of interpretive programs, walks, and tours offer visitors to Mount Rushmore a unique and educational experience.

Crazy Horse Memorial:
Although the project was first started in 1948 at the request of Chief Henry Standing Bear, the memorial is still not completed and is the world’s largest sculpture-in-progress. The Crazy Horse Memorial was started in honor of the great war leader of the Oglala Lakota Tribe in the Black Hills. His bravery is greatly admired and he is still considered one of the Sioux’s greatest leaders.

Rushmore Cave:
At Rushmore Cave you can experience an entirely different kind of fun. Soar through the sky on the Soaring Eagle Zipline or take a cool tour of the hidden world beneath our feet. For the truly adventurous, an xpedition adventure tour gives visitors a chance to go spelunking. This adventure is not for the faint of heart and requires belly crawling through some pretty tight spaces in the caves.
