[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3442571, member: 7900"] The Needles Highway runs roughly from the Mount Rushmore area and down into Custer State Park. In addition to the Needles Highway, there is also the Iron Mountain Road that runs from Custer State Park back up to the Mount Rushmore area. Its highway designation is U.S. 16A. This road also has single lane tunnels. Looking through two of those tunnels, one can see the figures on Mount Rushmore framed by the walls of the tunnels.
