Dine with the presidents at Carvers’ Café . Be sure to get a scoop of Thomas Jefferson’s ice cream — a treat based on the first written recipe in the U.S. Enjoy the outdoor Stone Hoop and Ethnobotanical Garden, a new exhibit focused on Lakota ethnobotany, star knowledge, and sacred sites. MORE AT RUSHMORE Mount Rushmore is a bucket-list item, and there are many ways to enjoy it! While pets are not permitted within the memorial grounds, the park added a brand new pet-exercise area for when you’re on a road trip with your best furry friend. Just outside the memorial, you will find yellow paw prints that lead the way to this spot. The best part? You can still view the memorial from the seating area of this spot. Doggie bags are also provided – just make sure to leave this wooded area better than you found it! Explore Mount Rushmore and other parks at BlackHillsbadlands.com/Parks-Monuments .
