3. © CRAZY HORSE MEMORIAL Imagine legendary Lakota warrior Crazy Horse sitting tall atop his spirited horse, arm outstretched as he points to the lands of his people. This image, envisioned by sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski in 1948, is a vision that is still being brought to life today in the Black Hills. When complete, Crazy Horse will be the world’s largest mountain carving, standing 563 feet high and stretching 641 feet long. More on page 42. Don't Miss Artists continue to work daily to bring Ziolkowski’s vision—and Crazy Horse’s legacy—to life. Watch them work from the viewing veranda of the memorial’s welcome center. Wishing for a closer look? Opt for a bus ride from the welcome center to the base of the mountain or an exclusive van tour that transports you all the way to the top.
