3. CRAZY HORSE MEMORIAL ® 3 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 being brought to life today by blasting and sculpting crews working year-round. Crazy Horse is the world’s largest mountain carving in progress, standing 563 feet high and stretching 641 feet long. More information beginning on page 84. Don't Miss From May through October, Crazy Horse Memorial hosts a variety of special events in the great outdoors. Depending on the month, you might join one of two volksmarches (organized hikes), marvel at a multimedia laser light show projected on the mountainside during Legends in Light ® Laser Show, or watch a traditional Native American dance performance on the outdoor viewing veranda.
