The Stomach Dropping Canopy Walk You Can Only Find In South Dakota

Why just stand in front of South Dakota's most popular attraction when you can see it suspended in the air among the ponderosa pines? Take on this challenge for a whole new perspective on Mt. Rushmore while testing your strength and skills through an obstacle course high above the ground. If you're afraid of heights, this might not be for you...

This path high through the trees offers the chance to see the surrounding forests from a birds eye view...

...If your stomach can handle it! There are 8 separate courses that have vary degrees of heights and required skill levels, allowing everyone in the family a chance to take part in the fun.

The surrounding Ponderosa Pines make a stunning backdrop to explore in ways you never have been able to before

See what it's like from the tree tops instead of from the ground. It's a completely unique experience that is hard to rival anywhere else.

For added fun, the courses include various elements that make it an exciting challenge to overcome

Other than things like swinging bridges and platforms, there are also more trickier areas like climbing ropes or hanging rings that will keep you on your toes to figure out how to take on.

And the view from up there? Yeah, it's amazing:

When you're high up in those pine trees, you'll be able to see a view of Mt. Rushmore that many other people have never been able to experience before. Now that's a memorable experience!

This great activity is known as the Aerial Adventure Park and is part of an area with other awesome things to do to experience Mt. Rushmore in a unique way, including through scenic views on a chairlift, exciting zip lines, and even an alpine slide - all within view of the monument itself. For more information, click here.
