Description Suggest change

Down Hill from Turtle Dome can be found a huge boulder which is the main gem in the area. With a few solid problems scattered threw out as well.

Getting There Suggest change

From Keystone, drive towards Mt. Rushmore on highway 16a. Take a left on 16a when the road junctions with 244. Measure from here, and drive 3.1 miles and park. This spot is where a non-major paved road intersects with the main highway on its right. This intersection is about 1/4 mile after driving through the second tunnel. There is no official parking, so just squeeze on the shoulder.
