Big Thunder Gold Mine – Keystone, SD.

Posted byUncle JackPosted inAmericas, USATags:, , , ,

The Big Thunder Gold Mine in Keystone, SD was on my “to do list” if………… Expecting it to be very touristy.

It won’t be on my “Must See List” but I felt cost was well worth my time and I have no regrets. I enjoyed my time at the Big Thunder Gold Mine. It is nice and you can see Mt. Rushmore in the distance on their front porch. For a touristy activity you can pan for gold at an extra cost. I did not pan for gold.

There is still gold to be mined, but the present owner has determined he can make more money as a tourist attraction.

After viewing Mt. Rushmore in the distance from the front porch of the Big Thunder Gold Mine, I set the coordinates of my GPS and headed for the Mount Rushmore National Monument.
