Very nice shots! that is a great area, I made a quik pass though there when I moved back east fro Oregon. I wish I had the lighting you had for Mount Rushmor and Devils Tower. The only day I had was overcast, I got some nice shots but next time I am in that area I will makesure to have more time.

I actually almost missed out on the good light for Mount Rushmore. It was overcast & cloudy one day. I had one more full day and a morning to try again. I got up at the crack of dawn and was at the monument freezing my rear end off waiting for sunrise. When it came, a thick fog came right across between the monument and where you view it from. Luckily it moved out pretty quick and I snapped some off before it got too bright.

I'm exhausted just looking through them, what a productive trip!

A few spots I wasn't familiar with that I know have to add to my list
