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 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. Throughout the year, visitors can experience daily cultural performances and learn more about Native American history at The Indian Museum of North America . >> EAT & DRINK In Custer, The Begging Burro serves up flavorful Mexican specialties — think empanadas, sauce-smothered enchiladas and grilled fish tacos with tangy slaw — plus tequila and mezcal cocktails. At Buglin’ Bull Restaurant & Sports Bar , elk burgers and buffalo steak are the draw. In Hill City, dine on German specialties from schnitzel to spaetzle at Alpine Inn before sampling your way through a tasting flight of wine on the patio of Sick-N-Twisted Brewing Co. and Naughti Wines .
